Investing in Resilience
In an era where the impact of climate change in local communities has become more glaring, ""Investing in Resilience: Environmental Economics and Infrastructure Planning for a Changing Climate"" offers a dynamic blueprint for addressing socially complex environmental challenges. Drawing inspiration from leading thinkers like Vaclav Smil and groundbreaking studies on climate resilience, this book explores how communities can tackle systemic threats to energy and water resources. Through a compelling narrative, the book introduces a two-pronged approach to invest in community infrastructure in the face of a rapidly changing climate: first, by identifying and prioritizing equitable coastal resilience indicators, and second, by harnessing the innovative Watergy model - a dynamic tool designed to evaluate the long-term socioeconomic and environmental trade-offs that come with sustainable resource management. Readers will journey through real-world examples, from underserved coastal cities threatened by High Impact Low Frequency climate-related events to urban areas grappling with the dynamic demands of modern energy transition. With a focus on economic strategies, this work emphasizes the importance of applying economic frameworks to address the multifaceted social and environmental challenges posed by climate change. As communities face increasing pressures from both natural disasters and resource depletion, "Integrated Infrastructure Planning"" challenges us to rethink our relationship with energy and water systems, guiding decision-makers, industries, and individuals through a path of economically viable, equitable, resilient, and sustainable solutions. This book is a call to action for anyone seeking to contribute to a world where economic growth is no longer at odds with environmental stewardship. Will we find the environmental and economic balance needed to secure a livable planet? This book provides the tools and insights needed to turn that question into action.
Modeling of Non-Linearities in Neuronal Dendritic Structures and Their Role in Feature Extraction
In order to achieve type-specific functionality, the study examines the role that homogenous morphology and electrophysiological play in type-specific neurons. In order to mimic the formation, propagation, and cell-field interaction of action potentials, two types of membrane dynamics are studied: active and passive. To mimic class-specific neurons, a hierarchical linear-nonlinear structure is created. To replicate scotopic and color vision edge estimates in the human visual cortex, an orientation-selective ganglion cell network is constructed and simulated. The model sheds light on similar networks' receptive field widths and bandwidth tuning capacity. The research study demonstrates how signals in the magnocellular layer might influence the behavior of contour recognition and boundary estimation.
Statistical and Non-equilibrium Thermodynamic Models of Diffusion in Metals and Alloys
The diffusion of hydrogen, carbon and alloying elements in metals is of great importance because it determines the engineering problems associated with the creation and use of high-strength steels, reactor materials, alloys for transporting and storing hydrogen, etc. The collection of works develops new models for calculating the diffusion parameters of alloying elements in metals and alloys as a complex system, including the mutual influence of alloying elements and applied to calculate the parameters in advanced alloys. A nonequilibrium thermodynamic approach has been developed for calculating diffusion processes in multicomponent alloys, including the diffusion of basic elements and carbon. A diffusion-vacancy mechanism describing the process of graphitization of cast iron has been developed. Common expressions for calculation of cross-factors, motive forces and fluxes in the Onsager's equations in a multicomponent thermodynamic system are suggested. This makes it possible to carry out calculations of diffusion processes taking into account the mutual influence of elements and phase transformations in the system. In the developed statistical calculation model (SCM) the pre-exponential factor of hydrogen and carbon diffusion in metals has been calculated from first principle of statistical physics. Activation energy of hydrogen and carbon diffusion in all metals is determined by correlation with the melting point of these metals. For temperatures below 1000 K, the SCM model uses activation energies calculated from first principles. For the diffusion of hydrogen and carbon in metals, very good agreement was obtained between experimental values and the SCM model over a wide temperature range. The SCM model allows, in contrast to existing models, to predict the values of the diffusion parameters of hydrogen and carbon in alloys.This project was funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF).

Cascades of the Big Sioux River
There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places. - Wendell BerryThis is the story of a dramatic landscape in an improbable location. Since the last continental glacier receded, the rollicking falls of the Big Sioux River were exposed as a geographical anomaly. Early inhabitants of the Northern Plains were amazed that a stair-stepping series of waterfalls existed in the midst of vast, rolling prairie. Today's visitors marvel that this rugged, dynamic setting survives in the heart of thriving, bustling Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Award winning environmental author Peter Carrels recounts the human activities and inclinations that first disfigured and later rescued this distinct, unexpected landmark known today as Falls Park.

Great Minds in Despair
The twentieth century witnessed two devastating world wars that led to the exodus of millions of people. Counted among them were hundreds of neuroscientists and biological psychiatrists from Nazi Germany and its surrounding countries who were forced to emigrate in the 1930s and 1940s. Many of them settled in North America, where they profoundly influenced the development of the biomedical sciences. Focusing on the years between 1933 and 1989, Great Minds in Despair examines the long-term effects of this forced migration on scientific and medical cultures in North America and on the researchers themselves. Frank Stahnisch traces the lives and careers of approximately four hundred German-speaking doctors, scientists, and researchers over two generations. Placed in unfamiliar research settings in Canada and the United States, they helped to build the fields of neuroscience, psychiatry, clinical psychology, and the cognitive sciences, even as they rebuilt their own lives amid myriad challenges including cultural adaption and the complications of relicensing. Stahnisch explores how generational factors, gender, international networking, refugee organizations, and national funding agencies shaped their experiences and affected postwar remigration. Great Minds in Despair provides an important revision to the brain gain thesis in migration studies by turning attention to the working conditions and social acculturation of an influential academic refugee group in North America.

Origin Story
By early morning of June 30, 1860, a large crowd began to congregate in front of Oxford University's brand-new Museum of Natural History. The occasion was the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the subject of discussion was Charles Darwin's new treatise: fact or fiction?Darwin, a simultaneously reclusive and intellectually audacious squire from Kent, claimed to have solved "that mystery of mysteries," introducing a logical explanation of the origin of species--how they adapted, even transmogrified, through natural selection. At stake, on that summer's day of spirited debate, was the very foundation of modern biology, not to mention the future of the church. Without fear of exaggeration, Darwin's thesis would forever change our understanding of the life sciences and the natural world. And yet the author himself was nowhere to be found in the debate hall--instead, he was miles away, seeking respite from a spate of illnesses that had plagued him for much of his adult life.In Origin Story, medical historian Howard Markel recounts the two-year period (1858 to 1860) of Darwin's writing of On the Origin of Species through its spectacular success and controversy. Simultaneously, Markel delves into the mysterious health symptoms Darwin developed, combing the literature to emerge with a cogent diagnosis of a case that has long fascinated medical historians. The result is a colorful portrait of the man, his friends and enemies, and his seminal work, which resonates to this day.
