Abstract:
Modern scientific space missions pose high requirements on the accuracy of the prediction and the analysis of satellite motion. On the one hand, accurate orbit propagation models are needed for the design and the preparation of a mission. On the other hand, these models are needed for the mission data analysis itself, thus allowing for the identification of unexpected disturbances, couplings, and noises which may affect the scientific signals. We present a numerical approach for Solar Radiation Pressure modelling, which is one of the main contributors for nongravitational disturbances for Earth orbiting satellites. The here introduced modelling approach allows for the inclusion of detailed spacecraft geometries, optical surface properties, and the variation of these optical surface properties (material degradation) during the mission lifetime. By using the geometry definition, surface property definitions, and mission definition of the French MICROSCOPE mission we highlight the benefit of an accurate Solar Radiation Pressure modelling versus conventional methods such as the Cannonball model or a Wing-Box approach. Our analysis shows that the implementation of a detailed satellite geometry and the consideration of changing surface properties allow for the detection of systematics which are not detectable by conventional models.

Abstract:
There is no generally accepted definition of a territory’s mission either in Russia or abroad. So is it worth including a mission in the strategy of socio-economic development of a territory and what definition of the mission is better to choose? To answer these questions, a content analysis of Russian and foreign definitions of the territory's mission has been carried out, from which common units of meaning were identified. It was established that a number of semantic units in definitions of the territory's mission and the mission of organization coincide. However, from the point of view of the mission statement, there are a number of significant differences between a territory and an organization, which makes some definitions of the territory’s mission hardly applicable in practice. Conclusion is made: it is better to define the territory's mission through its role in the external environment, functions and unique features of the territory. The article examines advantages and disadvantages of alternative options: not to develop a mission at all or to develop it in a purely formal way. Practical recommendations on developing a territory mission, examples from Russian and foreign experience are given.

Abstract:
This paper presents a cooperative control software architecture that coordinates a team of multiple humanoid to complete a mission by collaborating with each other. The mission of the humanoid team is decomposed into tasks and distributed to each humanoid to be executed. Each task is described by the proposed humanoid action primitives, which are designed to abstract broad classes of humanoid tasks appropriately. In particular, missions and tasks for the humanoid team are designed by using a finite state machine with a developed user interface. The multiple humanoid cooperative control software consists of 3 layers: the mission layer, task layer, and action layer. The software architecture has scalability to the number of humanoids and the number of assigned missions with its framework based on the CORBA middleware, which integrates many different functionalities of the humanoid. The feasibility and robustness of the implemented software architecture are verified through successful completion of the mission assigned to the humanoid team while each humanoid performs its given task sequentially.

Abstract:
In satellites, onboard software is required to perform complicated mission sequences and autonomous scheduling, conduct preliminary data processing, and manage various onboard devices. The dependability of onboard software strongly affects the reliability of a satellite itself. Therefore, the onboard software must be both complex and reliable to perform complicated small satellite missions. We propose an automatic software generator to meet these requirements. This generates onboard software and a database for the ground operating system using satellite development documents, such as command and telemetry definition documents and fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) definition documents. By using this software generator, the software development load can be reduced and human error can be avoided, even if the definitions are modified in an ad hoc manner during the development process. The generator additionally enables the easy accommodation of user preferences and software depth variation during a mission.

Abstract:
PurposeThis study aims to reach academic consensus on key factors and boundaries used in defining the concepts of “social entrepreneurship” (SEsh), “social entrepreneur” (SE), and “social enterprise” (SEV). This study also explores the complex relationships among social/business enterprises, definitional categories and factors, missions, and impacts on effectiveness of practices and organizing for venture success.Design/methodology/approachContent analysis is conducted on articles published from 1998 to 2016 in peer-reviewed academic journals in the fields of management and organization. Furthermore, 80 articles are obtained and analyzed in terms of factors and frequently used terms for unified definitions and their intertwined linkages.FindingsThe unifying factors for the definitions of SEsh, SE, and SEV include primary mission and processes and resources. Strong linkages are observed between SEsh and actors, SE and characteristics, and SEV and organizational form. Results indicate that definitional categories and factors share numerous joint terms that can be used to propose unified definitions. This study identifies the effective interactions of variables among social mission, capabilities to manage resources and processes, entrepreneurial characteristics of actors, and forms of ventures in a process that provides potential for organizational sustainability and impact maximization.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper contributes to research by identifying clear and agreed-upon factors and traits as boundaries to propose definitions that can advance the legitimacy of social entrepreneurship as an academic field worthy of future exploration.Practical implicationsThe findings emphasize social mission that achieves public benefits while preventing mission drift. Economic value and choice of organizational form can advance the fulfillment of objectives and governance practices. This study also presents the key influencing factors at various stages of an entrepreneurial process to determine how these concepts interact to increase the likelihood of organizational emergence and survival.Originality/valueThis work is the first to systematically review management and organizational literature on the key factors and terms that constitute the distinct definitions of SEsh, SE, and SEV and help clarify their complex relations in an entrepreneurial process.

Abstract:
This paper surveys the literature on resilience, provides several definitions of resilience, and proposes a new comprehensive definition for a resilient engineered system, which is: a system that is able to successfully complete its planned mission(s) in the face of disruption(s) (environmental or adversarial), and has capabilities allowing it to successfully complete future missions with evolving threats. This definition captures the subtle differences between resilience and a resilient engineered system. We further examine the terminology associated with resilience to understand the various resilient time-frames and use the terminology to propose a resilience cycle, which differentiates mission resilience (short term) and platform resilience (long term). We then provide insight into various resilience evaluation methodologies and discuss how understanding the full scope of resilience enable designers to better incorporate resilience into system design, decision makers to consider resilient trade-offs in their assessment, and operators to better manage their systems. A resilient engineered system can lead to improved performance, reduced life-cycle costs, increased value, and extended service life for engineered systems.

Abstract:
The mission statement of an organization compiled in accordance with the definition of the term “mission” of the dictionary of the ISO 9000 quality management systems standard cannot be recognized as an effective management tool, since the ISO requirements for this document are too generic and vague. The objectives of this work were to clarify the functions of the mission statement of the university library as a management document, to develop a definition of the mission statement, consisting mainly of a list of its functions, and to develop a full-fledged mission statement of the Scientific Library of the Belarusian National Technical University based on the developed functional definition. Accordingly, the methods of work were the retrieval and interpretation of relevant scientific literature and the synthesis of data obtained from it for the development of new documents, viz. the definition of the mission statement and the mission statement of our library based on it. As a result, the intended functional definition of a university library mission statement as a full-fledged effective management document has been given and the mission statement of the Scientific Library of the Belarusian National Technical University has been crafted. The aspects of improving the efficiency of the library after the adoption of the new mission statement are briefly discussed.

Abstract:
The field of data governance is emerging globally. Although there is yet no universal definition of the field, the issue of data governance is important to governments, industries, institutions, and professionals across disciplines. This paper summarizes findings from a review of 50 data governance definitions from a cross-section of industries, institutions, and professional associations. Text analysis reveals varying definitions and levels of specificity, focus, and attitudes towards basic principles of control or prescription. Organizational culture is an additional factor likely reflected in semantics shaping the definitions. The paper makes recommendations for developing and designing definitions that are meaningfully aligned to the organization's mission and diverse stakeholders. The main contributions of the paper are 1) comprehensive summary of data governance definitions across industries; 2) role of specificity, focus, and attitudes underlying control; 3) framework to customize data governance definition to align with current data maturity and organizational mission and culture.

Abstract:
AbstractIn recent years the Five Marks of Mission have become the latest in a long series of mission ‘slogans’ in the Anglican Communion, but little attention has been paid to their origin or theological presuppositions. This paper traces the development of an Anglican definition of mission from the 1984 meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council, at which a four-fold definition was first put forth, to the present use of the Five Marks of Mission across many parts of the Communion. The strong influence of evangelical mission thinking on this definition is demonstrated, as is the contributions from African Anglican bishops. Anglican mission thinking has shifted from emphasizing pragmatism and coordination to providing a vision for the Communion to live into. Mission thinking has been a site of genuine cross-cultural interchange among Anglicans from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract:
Missional ethics is a relatively new and unexplored theme emerging within missiology. Thus far the meaning of the term, 'missional ethics,' has been assumed rather than explicitly defined. This thesis provides an exegetical definition of missional ethics arrived at by exploring key biblical texts relevant to the theme—Deuteronomy, the Major Prophets and Luke-Acts. A canonical, narratival, missional, and performative hermeneutic was employed in the exploration of the nature, content, purpose, and development of missional ethics within the biblical texts. The exegesis demonstrated that missional ethics is an inherently community based project with emphases in justice, charity, and worship. Within the wider missiological discussion, this definition provides challenges and proposals to contemporary theory and praxis. The most significant contribution of this thesis is the proposal of a definition of missional ethics as follows: Missional ethics refers to the ways in which the believing community's behaviour—in particular their love for God, and love for neighbour, expressed in the exercise of justice, charity, and worship—bears witness, in the imitatio Dei, to the nature and character of God before a watching world.

Abstract:
The Large Ultraviolet/Optical/Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) is one of four large mission concepts currently undergoing community study for consideration by the 2020 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey. LUVOIR is being designed to pursue an ambitious program of exoplanetary discovery and characterization, cosmic origins astrophysics, and planetary science. The LUVOIR study team is investigating two large telescope apertures (9- and 15-meter primary mirror diameters) and a host of science instruments to carry out the primary mission goals. Many of the exoplanet, cosmic origins, and planetary science goals of LUVOIR require high-throughput, imaging spectroscopy at ultraviolet (100 - 400 nm) wavelengths. The LUVOIR Ultraviolet Multi-Object Spectrograph, LUMOS, is being designed to support all of the UV science requirements of LUVOIR, from exoplanet host star characterization to tomography of circumgalactic halos to water plumes on outer solar system satellites. LUMOS offers point source and multi-object spectroscopy across the UV bandpass, with multiple resolution modes to support different science goals. The instrument will provide low (R = 8,000 - 18,000) and medium (R = 30,000 - 65,000) resolution modes across the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 100 - 200 nm) and near-ultraviolet (NUV: 200 - 400 nm) windows, and a very low resolution mode (R = 500) for spectroscopic investigations of extremely faint objects in the FUV. Imaging spectroscopy will be accomplished over a 3 x 1.6 arcminute field-of-view by employing holographically-ruled diffraction gratings to control optical aberrations, microshutter arrays (MSA) built on the heritage of the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), advanced optical coatings for high-throughput in the FUV, and next generation large-format photon-counting detectors. The spectroscopic capabilities of LUMOS are augmented by an FUV imaging channel (100 - 200nm, 13 milliarcsecond angular resolution, 2 x 2 arcminute field-of-view) that will employ a complement of narrow-and medium-band filters. The instrument definition, design, and development are being carried out by an instrument study team led by the University of Colorado, Goddard Space Flight Center, and the LUVOIR Science and Technology Definition Team. LUMOS has recently completed a preliminary design in Goddard's Instrument Design Laboratory and is being incorporated into the working LUVOIR mission concept. In this proceeding, we describe the instrument requirements for LUMOS, the instrument design, and technology development recommendations to support the hardware required for LUMOS. We present an overview of LUMOS' observing modes and estimated performance curves for effective area, spectral resolution, and imaging performance. Example "LUMOS 100-hour Highlights" observing programs are presented to demonstrate the potential power of LUVOIR's ultraviolet spectroscopic capabilities.

Abstract:
EUMETSAT (www.eumetsat.int) e’ l’agenzia europea per operazioni su satelliti per monitorare clima, meteo e ambiente terrestre. Dal centro operativo situato a Darmstadt (Germania), si controllano satelliti meteorologici su orbite geostazionarie e polari che raccolgono dati per l’osservazione dell’atmosfera, degli oceani e della superficie terrestre per un servizio continuo di 24/7. Un sistema di monitoraggio centralizzato per programmi diversi all’interno dell’ambiente operazionale di EUMETSAT, e’ dato da GEMS (Generic Event Monitoring System). Il software garantisce il controllo di diverse piattaforme, cross-monitoring di diverse sezioni operative, ed ha le caratteristiche per potere essere esteso a future missioni. L’attuale versione della GEMS MMI (Multi Media Interface), v. 3.6, utilizza standard Java Server Pages (JSP) e fa uso pesante di codici Java; utilizza inoltre files ASCII per filtri e display dei dati. Conseguenza diretta e’ ad esempio, il fatto che le informazioni non sono automaticamente aggiornate, ma hanno bisogno di ricaricare la pagina. Ulteriori inputs per una nuova versione della GEMS MMI vengono da diversi comportamenti anomali riportati durante l’uso quotidiano del software. La tesi si concentra sulla definizione di nuovi requisiti per una nuova versione della GEMS MMI (v. 4.4) da parte della divisione ingegneristica e di manutenzione di operazioni di EUMETSAT. Per le attivita’ di supporto, i test sono stati condotti presso Solenix. Il nuovo software permettera’ una migliore applicazione web, con tempi di risposta piu’ rapidi, aggiornamento delle informazioni automatico, utilizzo totale del database di GEMS e le capacita’ di filtri, insieme ad applicazioni per telefoni cellulari per il supporto delle attivita’ di reperibilita’. La nuova versione di GEMS avra’ una nuova Graphical User Interface (GUI) che utilizza tecnologie moderne. Per un ambiente di operazioni come e’ quello di EUMETSAT, dove l’affidabilita’ delle tecnologie e la longevita’ dell’approccio scelto sono di vitale importanza, non tutti gli attuali strumenti a disposizione sono adatti e hanno bisogno di essere migliorati. Allo stesso tempo, un’ interfaccia moderna, in termini di visual design, interattivita’ e funzionalita’, e’ importante per la nuova GEMS MMI.

Abstract:
La conception de systèmes cyber-physiques est une discipline émergente à l'interface de nombreux domaines d'ingénierie. Ces systèmes se caractérisent notamment par une identité double, liant le monde des contrôleurs, discret, à celui du matériel, continu. Les errements d'un contrôleur, qu'ils soient dus à un programme erroné ou à la manifestation d'un aléa de l'environnement, sont susceptibles de produire des conséquences désastreuses. Une attention particulière doit donc être apportée à leur programmation. Le travail présenté dans cet ouvrage est une réponse à ce défi. Nous proposons un langage dédié à la programmation des systèmes cyber-physiques, Sophrosyne, ainsi qu'une méthode formelle de vérification des missions résultantes. Le langage repose sur des structures de supervision, permettant au système d'adapter son comportement selon la survenance d'aléas. Il présente de plus un volet de modélisation continue du système au moyen d'équations différentielles, duquel dérive la vérification formelle des missions exprimée en logique dynamique différentielle. Divers outils ont été développés autour de Sophrosyne pour assurer la planification, la compilation, l'analyse, et l'exécution de missions. Ils constituent une chaîne logicielle complète allant d'une interface graphique assistant la conception de mission jusqu'à son exécution sur le système réel. Ces outils ont été mis en œuvre sur des projets d'inspections aériennes d'infrastructures par drone. Les travaux présentés sont illustrés par ces applications drones
Building cyber-physical systems is an up-and-coming discipline which involves many engineering domains. Cyber-physical systems have a controller monitoring their physical behaviour, resulting in intertwined discrete and continuous evolution. Faulty programs or environmental hazards might lead to unwanted control and disastrous consequences. Safe operation of cyber-physical systems requires to pay dedicated attention to their programming. Our work attempts to provide a solution to this challenge. We present a domain specific language for programming cyber-physical systems, Sophrosyne, as well as a formal method to verify the correction of the resulting missions. The language is based on monitoring control structures, which provide reactive behaviours to the system. It furthermore includes continuous modelling of the system with differential equations to enable verification of missions using differential dynamic logic. Various softwares have been built to provide Sophrosyne with mission planification, compilation, analysis, and execution. Together they form a complete toolchain from a graphical user interface supporting the definition of a mission to its execution on the real system. These tools have been used to define aerial inspections of infrastructure with unmanned aircraft. We demonstrate our contribution on such applications

Abstract:
Research into EFL learner dictionary use is receiving increasing attention. Most studies, however, focus on learners' reference needs. Only a few studies concern learners' productive use of dictionaries. Thus, we know very little about learners' reference skills and the reasons behind their difficulties in using dictionaries. The scarcity of empirical data about learners' actual use of dictionaries prompts this research. This thesis is an empirical examination of Arabic-speaking learners' actual use of EFL dictionaries for comprehension and production. It endeavours to uncover the root causes of their difficulties in dealing with EFL dictionaries. The thesis begins with a replication of Béjoint's (1981) questionnaire to ascertain whether Arab learners encounter the same problems as others. Three issues are raised: 'missing words', strategies for looking up 'compounds', and 'problematic definitions'. Two studies are carried out to investigate 'missing words'. Problems with missing words are attributed to candidates' apparent failure to locate certain meanings of polysemes, to find compound nouns and to searching for specialised words. Three studies are conducted to investigate strategies for looking up 'compounds'. Failure to look up compounds correctly is attributed to looking up noun-adjective compounds under the noun and noun-noun compounds under the 'meaning-bearer'. Four further studies centre on using dictionary entries for production. Problems with dictionary entries are attributed to the use of synonyms, the use of 'etc', the lack of some collocates and the ambiguity of explanations. Candidates' misinterpretations of meanings play a part. It appears that entries created in line with EFL learners' needs are more effective than traditional dictionary entries.

Abstract:
The aim of this lesson is to give a definition of mission and vision and to emphasize their importance in designing a new business in agriculture and in PA. Currently all the most famous companies in the world declare, through their website or advertising what their vision and mission are, but even small companies must have their own and agricultural businesses are included. In addition to these concepts, it's also introduced the concept of USP (“unique selling proposition”). The partner farms have been involved in the preparation of this lesson and have been invited to present their vision, mission and USP, so to better explains these concepts to the learners.

Abstract:
ZusammenfassungDas Subsidiary Governance Modell besteht aus den sechs Inhaltsmodulen System, Mission, Integrität, Stakeholder, Risiko und Audit. System-Management beschäftigt sich mit dem ganzheitlichen Verständnis des Unternehmens, seiner Umwelt, der Anspruchsgruppen und des Kontexts. Die Kenntnis der Zusammenhänge innerhalb eines Systems (Strukturen, Prozesse, Abhängigkeiten, Rollen) und der Positionierung von Mutterhaus und Tochtergesellschaft intern und gegenüber der Umwelt ist entscheidend für eine zielorientierte Subsidiary Governance. Mission Management befasst sich mit Strategie, Struktur und Kultur – Elemente, die Ordnung ins System Unternehmen bringen. Integritätsmanagement beschäftigt sich mit den Werten guter Zusammenarbeit. Durch Bewusstseinsförderung und das Einrichten von Prozessen und Instrumenten können Compliance und ethisches Verhalten sichergestellt und Reputationsverluste vermieden werden. Stakeholdermanagement besteht aus Definition, Identifizierung, Management und Kontrolle der Stakeholder. Risikomanagement beinhaltet den gesamten Risikomanagementprozess, von der Risikodefinition über die Bewertung der hierarchiestufengerechten Risiken bis hin zur Schulung spezifischer Risiken. Audit Management beschäftigt sich sowohl mit den gesetzlichen Anforderungen als auch mit der Effektivität, Effizienz, Erfolgsrelevanz und Rolle interner und externer Audits.

Abstract:
The national system of education has always been a subject of scientific discussions in the pedagogical paradigm. It should be noted that this system is multi-vector special processes and factors created by the state to implement the social mission of education in the society. Education as a constituent phenomenon includes many areas of work: educational process, scientific and scientific-technical activities, psychological and psychological-pedagogical counselling, financial and economic work and more. All these processes are united not only by the attitude to education as a system, but also to the process of governance in general. Therefore, the definition of "management of education" in various processes plays a particularly important role.

Abstract:
Das Stadt der Zukunft (SdZ) Programm des Bundesministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Energie, Mobilität, Innovation und Technologie (BMK) hat sich aus dem Haus der Zukunft Programm weiterentwickelt und bedient daher eine breitere Stakeholderlandschaft als früher. Zudem gibt es Dezentralisierungstendenzen in der Energieversorgungsbranche sowie das Entstehen neuer AkteurInnen durch neue Innovationen, weshalb sich die Stakeholderdiversität ebenfalls erhöht und das Potenzial haben, Kommunikationsaufgaben komplexer zu machen. Zudem versteht sich das SdZ-Programm als einer der österreichischen Vorreiter der missionsorientierten Innovationsförderung und möchte sich in dieser Tradition weiter in ihrer Abwicklung und Kommunikation Richtung Missionsorientierung entwickeln. Diese Studie stellt sich daher die Frage, wie Programmmanagement und Wissenskommunikation in der missionsorientierten, angewandten Forschung konzipiert und effektiv umgesetzt werden können. Es wurden mittels Literatur- und Dokumentenanalyse, Stakeholderanalyse, zweier internationaler Fallstudien, Interviews mit insgesamt 15 ExpertInnen und AkteurInnen aus den verschiedenen Stakeholdergruppen, zweier Fokusgruppen sowie einem Co-Creationworkshop Rückschlüsse auf die aktuelle Wirkung der Kommunikationsdimensionen des SdZ-Programmes gezogen und Überlegungen hinsichtlich der Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten zu Missionsorientierung nach OECD-Definition angestellt. Das resultierende Modell wurde in einem finalen Reflexionsworkshop mit dem Auftraggeber diskutiert. Der analytische Zugang unterteilt Missionsorientierung für die „Stadt der Zukunft“ in drei Ebenen, wovon die erste die Kommunikation auf Programmebene betrachtet, die zweite Ebene eine programmübergreifende Koordination im Sinne gemeinsamer Missionen überlegt und Ebene 3, auf welcher eine klar definierte „Mission Stadt der Zukunft“ angenommen wird und eine Stakeholderkommunikation als Kooperation in einem komplexen System verstanden wird. Dieses Verständnis wird bei der Entwicklung der Lösungsvorschläge berücksichtigt und einerseits Weiterentwicklungsvorschläge für jeden einzelnen Programmschritt gemacht, um die Kommunikation auf Ebene 1 und 2 nach den drei Hauptfunktionen receive, transmit und collaborate zu verbessern. Eine Kommunikation für Ebene 3, so wird geschlussfolgert, kann am effektivsten über eine offene Kommunikationsarchitektur gelingen, die als Kooperationsplattform orchestriert wird, um möglichst vielen Individuen aller denkbaren Stakeholdergruppen problembasiert dynamische Interaktion und Kollaboration zu ermöglichen. Als Ergebnis liefert diese Studie einen Vorschlag für eine Vorgehensweise, die es ProrammeignerInnen ermöglichen soll, Kommunikation und Programmmanagement für missionsorientierte Innovationsförderung in diesem Kontext zu planen. Folgende drei Schritte werden empfohlen: 1. Die Mission definieren: Typus und Rahmenbedingungen der Mission berücksichtigen. 2. Die Handlungsebene verstehen: Das „Ebenen-Modell“ gibt Empfehlungen, auf welche Kommunikationsaktivitäten auf welcher Ebene besonderer Fokus zu legen ist. 3. Den besten Weg zur Stakeholdereinbindung finden: Je nachdem, auf welcher Ebene die Mission stattfinden soll, werden unterschiedliche Funktionen des Public Engagement Triangle wichtiger. Anhand von zwei konkreten Beispielen für im Rahmen des SdZ-Programmes möglichen hypothetischer (Sub-)Missionen werden nun diese drei Schritte exemplarisch angewendet und gezielt Vorschläge für Management und Kommunikations-Maßnahmen gemacht: 1. Beispiel 1: Mission zur Etablierung von Plus-Energie-Quartieren in Österreich 2. Beispiel 2: Mission zur Realisierung klimaneutraler Städte in Österreich Die in dieser Studie erarbeiteten Modelle und Zugangsweisen sind so konzipiert, dass sie für die Gestaltung beliebiger Missions- und Zielsetzungen nützliche Orientierung geben können.

Abstract:
To conclude, despite Austria’s efforts toward social justice and gender equality, our analysis suggests that the selected policies are highly technical and do not deeply engage with the mentioned notions. While Austria moves toward becoming the global leader in energy innovation, its focus must not be limited to technology, but also the diverse user groups of such interventions. Moreover, we believe the inclusion of energy poverty, its working definition, and recommended measures, especially in the NECP document, is a good starting point for the Austrian policymakers to reflect more on social inclusions, those who are rendered invisible, and targeted measures for vulnerable and/or hard to reach people.

Abstract:
The report emphasizes that evaluating the suitability of infrastructure investments for insurance companies cannot compromise the core mission of insurance regulators to preserve the solvency of regulated insurance companies and to protect policyholders. Significant Findings in the Report Include: The report offers a uniform definition of infrastructure that could be used as a basis for discussions around financial investments in infrastructure within the insurance industry: generally, economic infrastructure is long-lived, capital-intensive, large physical assets that provide essential services or facilities to some jurisdiction. Using NAIC data, as well as other supplemental sources, findings estimate total U.S. insurance industry exposure to economic infrastructure to be roughly $570.5 billion by NAIC's definition. Infrastructure investments have many qualities that should be appealing to insurers, potentially well-positioning them to make additional infrastructure investments under the right circumstances. For example, historical performance data from S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Services show that: municipal bonds backing infrastructure outperform infrastructure bonds issued outside of the public sector. corporate infrastructure debt outperforms all non-financial corporate debt (which includes infrastructure). Superior performance is evident across the performance metrics we assessed, including default rates, recovery rates given default, and rating migration.

Abstract:
Estuaries trap much of the fine sediment delivered to them by rivers. This phenomenon presents challenges to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation mission, which maintains navigable waterways for waterborne commerce through estuarine regions. The USACE Regional Sediment Management Program and the USACE Norfolk District are conducting a regional sediment transport modeling study to identify cost-effective sediment management schemes in the James River, a tributary estuary of Chesapeake Bay. A key element of the sediment transport modeling study is the definition of cohesive sediment transport processes, such as erosion and settling velocity. This report describes field-based measurements of cohesive sediment erosion and settling velocity conducted in November 2017. The team conducted erosion testing on 15 cores collected throughout the tidal system. Additionally, two anchor stations were occupied to measure tidal variations in vertical distributions of suspended sediment concentration, particle size, and settling velocity. Recommended cohesive sediment transport parameters were developed from the field measurements.

Abstract:
Missing trade is defined as the exports and imports that may have taken place between two potential trading partners, but which are unknown to the researcher because neither partner reported them to the United Nation’s COMTRADE, the official global repository of trade statistics. In a comprehensive sample of African countries, over 40% of the potential trade flows fit this definition. For a continent whose trade integration remains an important avenue for development, this lack of information hinders the analysis of policy mechanisms -- such as the Economic Partnership Agreements with the EU -- that influence intra-regional trade patterns. This paper estimates the likely magnitude of the missing trade by modeling the manufacturing trade data in the GTAP Data Base using a gravity approach. The gravity approach employed here relates bilateral trade to country size, distance, and other trade costs while explicitly considering that high fixed costs can totally inhibit trade. This last feature provides an adequate framework to explain the numerous zero-valued flows that characterize intra-African trade. The predicted missing exports are valued at approximately 300 million USD. The incidence of missing trade is highest in the lowest income countries of Central and West Africa.
