Abstract (sommario):

Columbus concluded that Earth is round while watching a distant ship sink beneath the horizon. You too can observe the curvature of Earth on the San Francisco Bay (and other places); not only that: you can determine Earth’s radius from such observations. I present here a method to use the vertical shift between two bridges over the Bay due to Earth’s curvature as seen in a photograph, where the more distant bridge is apparently lower than the proximate one (as shown in Fig. 1). Starting with each bridge’s known dimensions and location and applying atmospheric refraction corrections and then measuring the vertical shift between the two bridges on the image allows a calculation of Earth’s radius within a surprising 1% of the accepted value.

Abstract (sommario):

The bridges and overpasses of the city of Samara are considered, their main characteristics are identifi ed. A brief historical background of the appearance of the fi rst bridges as simple engineering structures is given, the main temporary periods are highlighted. Examples of implemented solutions that characterize the main stages of the history of bridge construction are given: the Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead, the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Russian Bridge in Vladivostok, the String Bridge in Jerusalem. The analysis helps to understand how a modern bridge, located in the city building system, aff ects it, complements and enriches it, combines many functions and advanced technologies, and also has architectural expressiveness.

Abstract (sommario):

The new Carquinez Strait Bridge, northeast of San Francisco, California, will be the first major suspension bridge to be constructed in the United States since the second Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland in 1973. It will replace an existing steel cantilever truss bridge, built in 1927, that was found to be seismically inadequate. The new bridge consists of an orthotropic closed steel box girder superstructure, two main cables 512 mm (20 1/8 in.) in diameter, reinforced concrete towers, and gravity anchorages. The design has set a new standard in modern suspension bridge design in the United States, particularly with respect to seismic safety. Some of the key elements of the design that are discussed are the global design loading criteria for long-span suspension bridges, the design of allowable stresses in main cable wire, the state-of-the-art design detailing of critical welded connections, the finite-element analysis approach for the box girder to determine the actual plate stresses and stress concentrations, and the design of the reinforced concrete tower leg sections for enhanced ductile seismic performance.

Abstract (sommario):

The Richter magnitude 7.1 October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta (San Francisco) earthquake is the largest to occur near a major North American urban center since the historical 1906 San Francisco magnitude 8.3 earthquake. As earthquakes of at least similar strength are expected to occur in most of eastern and western Canada, and since the amount of structural damage that occurred is considerable, the study of the effects of this earthquake is of particular significance to Canada. This paper reports on the major structures and types of structures that were most heavily damaged by this earthquake, and presents preliminary findings as to the causes of failures or collapses. The pertinence of this earthquake is reviewed in a Canadian perspective. Key words: earthquake, structures, damage, failure, collapse, buildings, bridges, heritage buildings, emergency preparedness.

Abstract (sommario):

As sea-crossing bridges are important hubs connecting separated land areas, their detection in SAR images is of great significance. However, under complex scenarios, the sea surface conditions, the distribution of coastal terrain morphologies, and the scattering components of different structures in the bridge area are very complex and diverse, which makes the accurate and robust detection of sea-crossing bridges difficult, including the sea–land segmentation and bridge feature extraction on which the detection depends. In this paper, we propose a polarimetric SAR image detection method for sea-crossing bridges based on windowed level set segmentation and polarization parameter discrimination. Firstly, the sea and land are segmented by a proposed windowed level set segmentation method, which replaces the construction of the level set segmentation energy function based on the isolated pixel distribution with a joint distribution of pixels in a certain window region. Secondly, water regions of interest are extracted by a proposed water region merging algorithm combining the distances of the water contour and polarization similarity parameter. Finally, the bridge regions of interest (ROIs) are extracted by merging close water contours, and the ROIs are discriminated by the polarimetric parameters of the polarization entropy and scattering angle. Experimental results using multiple AirSAR, RADARSAT-2, and TerraSAR-X quad-polarization SAR data from the coastal areas of San Francisco in the USA, Singapore, and Fuzhou, Fujian, and Zhanjiang, Guangdong, in China show that the proposed method can achieve 100% detection of sea-crossing bridges in different bands for different scenes, and the accuracy of the intersection of the ground-truth (IoG) index of bridge body recognition can reach more than 85%. The proposed method can improve the detection rate and reduce the false alarm rate compared with the traditional spatial-based method.

Abstract (sommario):

This article proposes to analyze the history of the Imperial-Royal Casa de Tijuana since its foundation in 1982. It explores the position of this group in the history of LGBTIQ+ mobilization in this region and proposes the analysis of a particular circuit of travesti and drag shows, through its study as a gay- travesti organization that supported LGBTIQ+ community projects. Based on research from the GLBT Historical Society Archives of San Francisco, this work studies the formation of spaces of sociability, solidarity, and mutual aid through the complex parody—of gender and royalty—carried out by the Empresses and Emperors of the Casa de Tijuana. This framework shows cross-border communication bridges and provides reflections about the spaces of freedom, as well as the colonial traits embedded in gay-travesti subculture.

Abstract (sommario):

It is almost four years since the Lorna Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989. Since those ten seconds of shaking many lessons have been learned by all those affected. The objective of this symposium was to share these lessons and experiences so that the impact of future earthquakes on other communities might be minimised. Before reporting on the symposium content it may be recalled that the Lorna Prieta earthquake was Richter magnitude 7.1 with the epicentral region located 100km. from the cities of San Francisco and Oakland. Excluding localised site effects, typical felt intensities, in these areas were about MM 7, similar to the expected intensity of a thirty year return period event in the central region of New Zealand. The Lorna Prieta earthquake, at least as experienced by two large cities was not a major earthquake. Details of the earthquake and its effects have been published extensively, including a report by the NZNSEE reconnaissance team in this Bulletin, Vol. 23, No. 1, March 1990. The following six topics were reasonably equally discussed during the symposium: - geotechnical, buildings, emergency preparedness and response, lifelines, bridges and recovery, mitigation and planning. All plenary session papers will be published in due course and copies will be placed in the New Zealand Earthquake and War Damage Commission and Victoria University libraries. Those issues raised at the Symposium and thought to be of special relevance to the New Zealand scene are discussed under headings from each of the above topics.

Abstract (sommario):

Background Young people are disproportionately impacted by HIV infection and exhibit poor HIV care continuum outcomes. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are promising approaches to meet the unique needs of young people living with HIV. Youth-focused interventions are needed to improve HIV care continuum outcomes. Objective This study assessed the preliminary efficacy and impact of a digital HIV care navigation intervention among young people living with HIV in San Francisco. Health electronic navigation (eNavigation or eNav) is a 6-month, text message–based, digital HIV care navigation intervention, in which young people living with HIV are connected to their own HIV care navigator through text messaging to improve engagement in HIV primary care. Methods This study had a single-arm, prospective, pre-post design. The analysis included 120 young men who have sex with men or transwomen living with HIV aged between 18 and 34 years. We analyzed self-reported sociobehavioral information pre- and postintervention at baseline and 6 months, which was collected using computer-assisted self-interviewing surveys. We characterized the sample and built generalized estimating equation (GEE) models to assess differences in HIV care continuum outcomes at baseline and 6 months. Results The characteristics according to the intervention completion status were not different from those of the overall sample. The mean age of the participants was 27.75 years (SD 4.07). Most participants (103/120, 85.8%) identified as men, and the sample was racially/ethnically diverse. At baseline, majority (99/120, 82.5%) of the participants had recently received primary HIV care, yet this was more likely in those who completed the intervention than in those who did not (54/60, 90% vs 45/60, 75%; χ21=4.68, P=.03). More than half of the sample reported taking antiretroviral therapy (92/120, 76.7%) and having an undetectable viral load (65/120, 54.2%). The 6-month follow-up surveys were completed by 73.3% (88/120) of participants, and these participants were not characteristically different from the overall sample at baseline. GEE models indicated that participants had increased odds of viral suppression at 6 months as compared with baseline. No relevant additive or multiplicative interactions were noted on comparing outcome effects over time according to intervention completion. Conclusions Digital HIV care navigation fills a critical gap in public health and HIV care systems, making these systems more responsive and accountable to the needs of the most vulnerable individuals. Our intervention bridges the time between primary care visits with interactive, tailored, personalized, and peer-delivered social support; information; and motivational interviewing to scaffold behavioral change. This study is part of the next wave of system-informed mHealth intervention research that will offer potentially disruptive solutions to traditional in-person delivered interventions and improve the health of the most vulnerable individuals.

Abstract (sommario):

In this paper, we propose a dynamic displacement estimation method for large-scale civil infrastructures based on a two-stage Kalman filter and modified heuristic drift reduction method. When measuring displacement at large-scale infrastructures, a non-contact displacement sensor is placed on a limited number of spots such as foundations of the structures, and the sensor must have a very long measurement distance (typically longer than 100 m). RTK-GNSS, therefore, has been widely used in displacement measurement on civil infrastructures. However, RTK-GNSS has a low sampling frequency of 10–20 Hz and often suffers from its low stability due to the number of satellites and the surrounding environment. The proposed method combines data from an RTK-GNSS receiver and an accelerometer to estimate the dynamic displacement of the structure with higher precision and accuracy than those of RTK-GNSS and 100 Hz sampling frequency. In the proposed method, a heuristic drift reduction method estimates displacement with better accuracy employing a low-pass-filtered acceleration measurement by an accelerometer and a displacement measurement by an RTK-GNSS receiver. Then, the displacement estimated by the heuristic drift reduction method, the velocity measured by a single GNSS receiver, and the acceleration measured by the accelerometer are combined in a two-stage Kalman filter to estimate the dynamic displacement. The effectiveness of the proposed dynamic displacement estimation method was validated through three field application tests at Yeongjong Grand Bridge in Korea, San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge in California, and Qingfeng Bridge in China. In the field tests, the root-mean-square error of RTK-GNSS displacement measurement reduces by 55–78 percent after applying the proposed method.

San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass. 2010, 336 pp. isbn: 978-0-4704-8410-4. Durante la última década, gran parte de la investigación en educación se ha centrado sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro humano, así como sobre las diferentes formas que las personas tienen de asimilar y apropiar el conocimiento.Sin embargo, pocos han tratado de traducir esta investigación científica en consejos fáciles de entender que puedan ser aplicados en el aula de clase. Precisamente, “How Learning Works” logra construir un puente entre la teoría y la práctica, obteniendo siete principios y una serie de estrategias, basadas en el conocimiento empírico y científico, destinadas a mejorar la construcción del conocimiento entre el profesor y los alumnos. Los autores, que pertenecen al Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence at Carnegie Mellon University, han dedicado su vida al estudio de estos siete principios bajo los cuales se construye el aprendizaje. De los autores, sobresale Susan Ambroce, ya que no solamente ha publicado más de tres libros y 25 capítulos sobre educación, sino que además es la encargada de reconocer e interpretar las cambiantes necesidades de los estudiantes y dar respuesta a ellas, siendo ella más que una eminencia en esta área...

Abstract (sommario):

The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, connecting San Francisco and the East Bay, is one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the nation. In an effort to address traffic congestion in this corridor, the Bay Area Congestion Pricing Task Force—a group of business, environment, public interest, and government organizations—has been examining the viability of variable tolls on the Bay Bridge. Tolls would be higher during peak commute hours when demand is highest and lower in off-peak hours when the bridge has excess capacity. This supply-and-demand-based concept is known as congestion pricing. The federally sponsored planning phase of the Bay Bridge congestion-pricing demonstration program commenced in the fall of 1993. Its purpose was to determine the most feasible alternatives for reducing congestion on the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge through implementing a congestion-pricing program. The process by which the task force developed a congestion-pricing proposal for the Bay Bridge is described, as are the lessons that have been learned along the way.

Abstract (sommario):

From the toll plaza on the Oakland shores through the approach structures in San Francisco, the San Francisco—Oakland Bay Bridge, built at a cost of $78,000,000 in 1937, is an engineering marvel that carries over a quarter-million vehicles per day. Because of the different segments of the bridge and their inherent vulnerabilities, retrofitting was assigned to several groups within the California Department of Transportation. Briefly described are the analysis and design of the seismic retrofit of the West Crossing, which spans San Francisco Bay between the city of San Francisco and Yerba Buena Island. From the outset of this project, the goal was to keep the bridge in service following a magnitude 8.0 earthquake from the nearby San Andreas fault. Included in this discussion is a summary of analytical and engineering procedures used to model the seismic behavior and the performance of this complex, important structure. In addition there is some insight into the various levels of analysis that were utilized so that the project-specific performance-based design criteria could be met. Furthermore, there is discussion of how energy dissipation through foundation rocking and the use of viscous dampening devices made the overall design objective obtainable. Finally, there is some discussion on the retrofit details used to ensure compliance with the design criteria.

Abstract (sommario):

The co‐authors recommend American cities adopt a particular property‐tax rate cutting strategy. They contrast relatively prosperous San Francisco with impoverished Baltimore. Both cities actually raised property taxes frequently between 1950 and 1975 with roughly the same results–falling population and rising crime. During the same period, many other cities also raised tax rates to make up for lower economic output, thereby encouraging more people and businesses to leave.The change in San Francisco's economic fortunes did not arise out of either a successful crime‐fighting program (it had worse crime than Baltimore in 1975) or through the rising prosperity of Silicon Valley forty miles to its south (still too small and far away to make a difference). Rather, the inflection point for San Francisco was in 1978 when a statewide referendum (“Proposition 13”) limited property taxes to 1% of assessed value. San Francisco's revenue declined by 18% the next year, 1979, but by 1982, its revenue was 66% higher than before Prop 13, despite the lower rates.Prop 13 improved cash flows to owners of real property in San Francisco and protected their property rights. Investors bought, built, and improved the city's residential and commercial capital stock, attracting new residents and creating new job opportunitiesPoliticians are reluctant to try to adopt Prop 13‐like measures on their own, however, because the short‐term consequences for politicians are painful as several years are required for underlying economic activity to grow enough to offset rate cuts.The key is to build a financial bridge before crossing the river through four‐steps:1. Announce a property tax rate cap that is immediately binding but which would take effect over several years in the future. Rational investors would immediately begin to invest and expand the city's tax base.2. During the transition period, the city should limit its spending to a “maintenance of service” level, while allocating any added revenue to an escrow fund.3. The city should supplement this reserve with the proceeds of sales of assets on its balance sheet via sale‐and‐leaseback contracts (SLBs).4. If revenue falls in the short run, cash would be withdrawn from the escrow fund in order to continue to maintain levels of government services at accustomed levels.

Abstract (sommario):

The 10th World Conference of Science Journalists (San Francisco, U.S.A., 26–30 October 2017) was the most successful to date in terms of participants and probably the one with the largest presence of journalists from the developing world among its attendees and speakers. In agreement with the times, its themes were marked by ethical dilemmas in the communication of science, fake news and climate change, among others.

Abstract (sommario):

Building on the early European experiments with animated shadow figures, American dalang Larry Reed – narrator and puppet manipulator – has enlarged Balinese shadow puppetry to cinema-sized dimensions and combined it with live actors and dancers. In conjunction with Balinese puppet masters, Reed has created several pieces which explore the interaction between puppets and human shadow figures as well as performers in front of the screen. Moreover, Reed's productions are bilingual and bi-cultural, mixing Balinese and American humour and mythology so that the hybrid creations find favour with audiences in both locations. As his technique increasingly becomes refined in the process, each new production expands more subtly on the theme of melding shadow with flesh and the blurring of illusion and reality.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: The Golden Gate Bridge (GGB) is a well-known “suicide magnet” and the site of approximately 30 suicides per year. Recently, a suicide barrier was approved to prevent further suicides. Aims: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the proposed suicide barrier, we compared the proposed costs of the barrier over a 20-year period ($51.6 million) to estimated reductions in mortality. Method: We reviewed San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge suicides over a 70-year period (1936–2006). We assumed that all suicides prevented by the barrier would attempt suicide with alternative methods and estimated the mortality reduction based on the difference in lethality between GGB jumps and other suicide methods. Cost/benefit analyses utilized estimates of value of statistical life (VSL) used in highway projects. Results: GGB suicides occur at a rate of approximately 30 per year, with a lethality of 98%. Jumping from other structures has an average lethality of 47%. Assuming that unsuccessful suicides eventually committed suicide at previously reported (12–13%) rates, approximately 286 lives would be saved over a 20-year period at an average cost/life of approximately $180,419 i.e., roughly 6% of US Department of Transportation minimal VSL estimate ($3.2 million). Conclusions: Cost-benefit analysis suggests that a suicide barrier on the GGB would result in a highly cost-effective reduction in suicide mortality in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the Golden Gate Bridge (GGB) as a work of art and the role of the bridge in shaping community identity and discourse. Particular attention is focussed on the discourse surrounding mental illness and suicide, which perpetuate the problem of suicides involving the bridge as a means and mechanism of death. An analysis of the person who attempts or completes suicide is also performed. Design/methodology/approach – Multiple research articles, writings, and a cinematic production are drawn on to frame the argument in terms of Michel Foucault's adaption of Pantopticism Theory and Jacques Lacan's Mirror Theory, which includes the concepts of the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic. Findings – The GGB is a major factor in shaping the discourse on mental illness and suicide in the San Francisco community. The influences the GGB exerts combines with and exacerbates a culture of stigma, which perpetuates negative discourse and increases the risk of suicides in those already vulnerable. Research limitations/implications – The research for this paper was performed at a distance and was conducted, with the exception of one personal communication, by literature search and application to theory. Ethnographic research would be a logical next step to study the phenomenon further. Practical implications – Theory developed from this paper could be used in determining a relevant course of action for adding to existing suicide prevention efforts in the San Francisco Area and any other community with a prominent icon, such as the GGB, that may be exerting a negative influence on the suicide rates of that area. Social implications – An awareness of how art, culture, and psychology interact would increase awareness of the creation of a stigmatized environment and perhaps precipitate a change in the underlying negative discourse. Originality/value – This paper takes a fresh look at the phenomenon of violent death by suicide where a physical object/icon (the GGB) is used as a means to die. The particular theories and approach used to explain the interactions that intensify the suicide death rate have never been combined and interwoven in such an interdisciplinary way to seek an explanation.
