The metro and the city: interaction with the urban landscape in the new underground stations in Valencia 1995-2010
No full textThe first stations of the Valencia subway lines were accessible by conventional
metro entrances, stairs leading to an underground corridor or hallway, invisible
from the street and from where you came, directly or through other corridors, to
the platforms. In the new metro lines from the network of FGV Ferrocarriles de
la Generalitat Valenciana (Railways of the Regional Government of Valencia)
built between 1995 and 2010 the architectural design of the stations is addressed
in a different way from design strategies that seek greater interaction with the
public space and the urban environment. To expose these strategies of interaction
with the urban environment, the paper uses as case studies several stations
designed by the author, belonging to lines 3 and 5 of the Valencia Metro
network.Pérez Igualada, J. (2015). The metro and the city: interaction with the urban landscape in the new underground stations in Valencia 1995-2010. WIT Transactions on the Built Environment. 146:363-374. doi:10.2495/UT150291S36337414

Apicobasal distribution of Wit protein variants.
No full text(A–D) Profiles of Wit proteins shown in Fig 4. Anti-FLAG IF in the wing disc displayed a significant background signal, with enrichment at the apical membrane (A). Wit[Wit] was detected in all regions, with an enrichment overlapping the apical membrane (B). Wit[Punt], which is a Wit protein with Punt amino acids only in the juxtamembrane region, had a localization more like Punt than Wit (C). Deletion of the Wit juxtamembrane region did not alter the protein’s apicobasal distribution (D). (TIFF)</p
Co-Authorship Network for Scientific and Technical Papers, Published by at least one WIT Author
No full textWhat This Is
The diagram is a visual representation of collaborations between authors of WIT papers, who are represented by the circles in this image. Any co-authorship relation between two authors is represented by a connecting line.
• The colour of a line reflects the number of times that those two authors have worked together.
• The colour of a circle reflects the average impact of papers published by that author (average times cited)
• The size of a circle is proportional to the number of papers attributed to that author in the data used to generate the diagram.
The Data Used
The data used, comes from the Web of Knowledge. The Web of Knowledge is an index of all of the citations in 23,000 of the top academic and scientific journals. It should be noted that the data is not comprehensive, as there are many other journals in existence. Also, the index is biased in favour of the hard sciences. Disciplines related to humanities, arts and social sciences are very under-represented in this dataset.
The Software Used
The software used to generate this diagram is called Gephi. This is an open source graph visualisation tool. The software is developed by a French-based non-profit consortium. It started as a Google ‘Summer of Code’ initiative.
The Benefits
Analysis of networks using graph theory is a discipline that has come into its own of late, as improvements in technology have made possible the development of new tools, namely graph databases and visualisation software such as Gephi.
In the context of research, this kind of analysis can be a powerful tool for strategic planning, capacity building, identifying collaborative opportunities, and for finding efficiencies in large organisations
The maximal D = 5 supergravities
No full textThe general Lagrangian for maximal supergravity in five spacetime dimensions is presented with vector potentials in the 27 ¯ and tensor fields in the 27 representation of E 6 ( 6 ) . This novel tensor–vector system is subject to an intricate set of gauge transformations, describing 3 ( 27 − t ) massless helicity degrees of freedom for the vector fields and 3 t massive spin degrees of freedom for the tensor fields, where the (even) value of t depends on the gauging. The kinetic term of the tensor fields is accompanied by a unique Chern–Simons coupling which involves both vector and tensor fields. The Lagrangians are completely encoded in terms of the embedding tensor which defines the E 6 ( 6 ) subgroup that is gauged by the vectors. The embedding tensor is subject to two constraints which ensure the consistency of the combined vector–tensor gauge transformations and the supersymmetry of the full Lagrangian. This new formulation encompasses all possible gaugings
Maximal supergravity from IIB flux compactifications
No full textUsing a recently proposed group-theoretical approach, we explore novel gaugings of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with gauge group embeddings that can be generated by fluxes of IIB string theory. The corresponding potentials are positive without stationary points. Some allow domain wall solutions which can be elevated to ten dimensions. Appropriate truncations describe type-IIB flux compactifications on T 6 orientifolds leading to non-maximal, four-dimensional, supergravities

Towards a shared method to classify contaminated territories in the case of an accidental nuclear event: the PRIME project
No full textThe analysis of the management of the accidentally radioactive contaminated areas such as those around Chernobyl nuclear power plant highlights the fact that the current spatial classification methods hardly help in recovering proper use of the contaminated territory.
The cause is mainly to be searched for in the traditional construction of risks assessment methods; these methods rest on criteria defined by institutional experts, which are not applicable in practise because they are not shared by all the stakeholders involved in the management of the contaminated territories.
Opposite such top-down tentative management, local efforts supported by Non-Governmental Organizations to restore life in the contaminated area seem to be more fruitful but very time and resources consuming and limited to the specific areas where they are experimented. The aim of the PRIME project, in progress at the French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety, is to mix the advantages of both approaches in building a multicriteria decision tool based on the territorial specificities.
The criteria of the method are chosen and weighted with representatives of the territory’s stakeholders (decision makers, local actors and experts) to warrant that all the points of view are taken into account and to enable the risk managers to choose the appropriate strategy in case of an accident involving radioactive substances.
The area chosen for the pilot study is a 50 km radius territory around the nuclear sites of Tricastin-Pierrelatte in the lower valley of Rhône (France). One of the exploration questions of the PRIME project is whether a multicriteria method may be an appropriate tool to treat the data and make them visible and accessible for all the stakeholders
