Neutrino astronomy offers a novel view of the non-thermal Universe and is complementary to other astronomical disciplines. The field has seen rapid progress in recent years, including the first detection of astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV energy range by IceCube and the first identified extragalactic neutrino source (TXS 0506+056). Further discoveries are aimed for with new cubic-kilometer telescopes in the Northern Hemisphere: Baikal-GVD, in Lake Baikal, and KM3NeT-ARCA, in the Mediterranean sea. The construction of Baikal-GVD proceeds as planned; the detector currently includes over 2000 optical modules arranged on 56 strings, providing an effective volume of 0.35 km$^3$. We review the scientific case for Baikal-GVD, the construction plan, and first results from the partially built array., 9 pages, 5 figures, to be published in Proceedings of the 5-th International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics (ICPPA-2020), October 5-9, 2020

Purpose Construction planning for microtunneling projects is a complex process due to the high level of uncertainties inherent in underground construction and the interdependent nature of decision variables. Simulation is a suitable decision-making tool to account for uncertainties and to model complex dependencies among decision variables. This paper aims to improve microtunneling construction planning by using simulation. Design/methodology/approach This study proposes a hybrid simulation approach that combines discrete event simulation (DES) with continuous simulation (CS) for microtunneling construction planning. In this approach, DES is used to model construction processes at the activity level and CS is used to model the continuous flow of soil material in the system. Findings To demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach in construction planning of microtunneling projects, different construction plan scenarios are compared in a microtunneling case study. The results of the case study show suitability of the hybrid DES-CS approach in simulating microtunneling construction processes and the practicality of the approach for identifying the most efficient construction plan. Originality/value This study proposes a new modeling approach for microtunneling construction processes using hybrid simulation and provides decision support at the construction planning stage of projects.

We discuss the attempt to establish the Hospital Proletario in the capital of the state of Paraiba in the 1930s. To this end, we problematized the coverage in the newspaper A Uniao on this episode. The involvement of different actors - workers, associations and physicians - reveals the emergence of a new way of thinking and implementing healthcare policies. According to the Vargas government's national construction plan, actions like this were intended to ensure healthy workers - ready for the market and useful for the country. Despite its failure, the hospital project provided evidence of the different concepts of worker health during the Vargas Era. We identified the concepts of "health interdependence," "social medicine," "regulated citizenship" and the "labor movement."

espanolEn 1940, el Gobierno Portugues aprobo un ambicioso plan de construccion de infraestructuras con el objetivo de aumentar el numero de escuelas primarias en 60%. Basandonos en una nueva base de datos, empezamos por describir la situacion de la escolarizacion en Portugal anterior al plan, asi como la estrategia de localizacion de las nuevas escuelas proyectadas por el plan. A continuacion, estimamos el impacto que tuvo el aumento del numero de escuelas primarias en cada provincia entre 1940 y el inicio de los anos 60 en la matriculacion y alfabetizacion de los ninos. Concluimos que el incremento en el numero de escuelas primarias fue responsable del 80% en el aumento de la matriculacion y del 13% en el aumento de la alfabetizacion. EnglishIn 1940, the Portuguese government approved a massive primary school construction plan that projected a 60 per cent increase in the number of primary schools. Based on the collection of a new dataset, we describe literacy levels in Portugal prior to the plan as well as the plan’s strategy regarding the location of schools. We then estimate the causal impact of the increase in the number of schools between 1940 and the early 60s on enrolment and literacy, all at the county level. We conclude the increase in the number of schools was responsible for 80 per cent of the increase in enrolment and 13 per cent of the increase in the literacy rate of the affected cohorts.

Wang, T.; Yuan, S.; Yuan, K., and Luo, K., 2020. Study on key points and countermeasures of a coastal construction project. In: Liu, X. and Zhao, L. (eds.), Today's Modern Coastal Society: Technical and Sociological Aspects of Coastal Research. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 111, pp. 113–117. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.In the construction of coastal buildings, there are many factors to consider, such as environment, climate, and geology. To ensure the quality of the project, it is necessary to carry out targeted construction countermeasures, by the checking results, to develop a safe and reliable construction plan. Using a Mediterranean coastal construction project as an example, we show the special geological conditions requiring a method for foundation treatment and reinforcement, greater wind load at the seaside requiring tall shuttering formwork engineering, steel cantilever scaffold engineering for calculating the main points of construction, and for a coastal city with great salt fog effect, salt fog prevention measures. It provides useful references for the construction of similar waterfront construction projects.

It is required to study systematical on the concrete quality management to extend structure life because rebuilding effect is reducing under present condition of large sized and high stories structure. Concrete, which shows its intensity by hydrating action and a big change in quality according to hot weather and temperature, produces a lot of qualify problem under hot and cold weather Because of each specification and construction plan which does not have basic standard on site, concrete`s quality is irregular and makes some defect. As a result, Daegu is turned out to be the longest area after investigating application period and days focused on 8 cities weather information about relationship between hot weather circumstance and construction environment. Therefore, we first surveyed the concrete material in the region and found out the problem of quality nanagement. Then figure out the way of solution. Moreover, we integrated concrete material quality management, which is applied differently to each site, to have equal quality and to reduce defect from construction site. And then, based on various test of construction condition and analysis of quality management item, we suggest effective concrete quality management to make concrete material construction standard guide and plan under hot weather.

The concept of constructability in the United States or buildability in the United Kingdom emerged in the late 1970s, which evolved from studies into how improvement can be achieved to increase cost efficiency and quality in the construction industry. It is an approach that links the design and construction processes. The studies in the Unites States, United Kingdom, and Australia have demonstrated that improved constructability has lead to significant savings in both cost and time required for completing construction projects. However, in implementing constructability improvement, it is important to consider the uniqueness of the construction industry in a specific country. This paper presents the study performed on the construction contractors in Indonesia with regard to their current constructability practices and its impact on the project performance. The study shows that many contractors in Indonesia have been implementing part of the constructability concept in their projects. The concepts that usually applied during the construction stage as part of the overall construction plan were planning the sequence of field tasks and analyzing layout, access, and temporary facilities

Recently, at the former sites of abandoned river along the Kusatsu river drainage canal enterprise in Kusatsu and Ritto city region, Shiga Prefecture, the construction of facilities related to road is under consideration. Then, in Kusatsu city, part of former sites of abandoned river other than facilities related to road will be bought from Shiga Prefecture for the promotion. The development of the former sites will influence the future of the city greatly. The planned construction is expected to be efficient, so the more effective plan for this project is in great need.Then, in this research, the synthetic examination from multi-aspect and multi-side viewp oint was carried out for the purpose of the possibility of practical and rational plan raised about the former site required by urban facilities construction problems. In that case, to determine the kinds arrangement, construction implementation periods of the urban facilities which is assumed to be constructed at former sites of abandoned river, the optimization model was built up. So, with the connection of the optimization model of development and financial simulation model, it is feasible to analyze the influence effect from financial and social aspects about the construction plan. And effective and efficient plan proposal was concluded.

Construction plan and strength control have limitations in construction production field because it is difficult to predict the form removal strength and development of specified concrete strength. However, we can have reasonable construction plan and strength control if prediction of concrete strength is available. In this study, firstly, the newly proposed strength prediction model with maturity method was compared with the logistic model to test the adaptability. Secondly, the determination of time of form removal was verified through the new strength prediction model. As the results, it is found that investigation of the activation energy that are used to calculate equivalent age is necessary, and new strength prediction model was proved to be more accurate in the strength prediction than logistic model in the early age. Moreover, the use of new model was more reasonable because it has low SSE and high decisive factor. If we adopt new strength prediction model at construction field, we can expect the reduced period of work through the reduced time of form removal.

In recent years there has been a move towards more cooperation in the construction industry. While the traditional practice is that the architect chooses the trades, provides the construction plan, and tells the trades what to do, a new initiative has been formed to create cooperative construction teams. Here the architect will discuss details of the construction plan with the trades concerned and all parties work cooperatively on the construction project. This means that there will be many coordination tasks and that communication plays a pivotal role. The paper presents a framework for and an implementation of an electronic marketplace to support such cooperative construction teams. It will be argued that there must be a co-design of the business system (i.e. cooperative construction teams) and the IT system (i.e. the marketplace including the search, negotiation, and fulfilment phases) for efficiently supporting small and medium-sized companies participating in cooperative teams and interacting on electronic marketplaces.

Forty years ago, a few librarians started collecting foreign patent documents, opening a new service to visitors. China's first Patent Library was organized 10 years later in 1965. After 15 years of service with more than 10 million foreign patent documents, it was integrated into the newly established Chinese Patent Office in 1981. Another set of patent documents arranged systematically according to IPC has been set up at the Documentation Department for the examiners. It comprises nearly 13 million patent documents so far and meets the requirement of the “PCT Minimum Documentation”. The total number in the numerical collection has already reached more than 30 million, serving on average 60,000 readers each year. A CD-ROM reading room has been recently equipped and the computerization of the patent information service is progressing step by step forward under the Automation Construction Plan of the Patent Office.

The symmetry of the construction plan for a human being goes way back to the very beginning of the evolution of life on earth. Ontogeny reproduces to some extent phylogeny. 500 Ma (million years ago) during the Cambrian Period, the chordate nervous system appears most notably in Stomochordates that gave rise to vertebrates. The notochord is a cartilaginous rod, located on the dorsal side, that supports and protects the neural tube and that will evolve into the spinal column Figure 1 Bicephalic eagle of the Emperors of the Orient painted on the ceiling of the vestibule of the Lascaris Palace, an aristocratic dwelling in Nice dating from the first half of the XVII century. This representation is constructed so as to maintain perfect axial symmetry that the two heads sublimely epitomize.

The mere fact that it is possible to devote attention to the Dutch experience with referendums will come as a surprise to some. Two English-language texts (Gladdish, 1991; Andeweg and Irwin, 1993) do not even mention the referendum, undoubtedly because no national referendum has ever been held in the Netherlands. Yet academic treatments of referendum have existed since the nineteenth century (Van Balveren, 1888; more recently Gilhuis, 1981) and political circles have regularly given attention to referendums. In the 1990s this attention has focused upon the presumed gap between voters and their elected representatives and whether the referendum could be a means to reduce this gap.

Dresden, as it was before its destruction at the end of the Second World War, has become somewhat of a legend. Its fame lingers on as a city of the arts and one of the most beautiful among the large cities in Europe, although neither Dresden’s present appearance nor its cultural life today measure up to their prewar standing.1

The station location problem of public transportation systems is formulated as a minimization problem of a cost which is a function only of walking distances of the passengers. Two methods for numerical solutions are given. One is based on a necessary condition for optimality and the other uses the dynamic programming technique. The station location problems for the subway construction plan in Sendai City and the rapid transit system plan of the Osaka South Port are discussed to illustrate the application and to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify changes in village lifestyle caused by a dam construction plan. An investigation of Zenmai (Osmunda japonica) gathering in Miomote, Niigata prefecture in Japan was conducted in order to identify such changes. Zenmai gathering is a traditional occupation of the village people, which is highly susceptible to the influences of nature. Changes will be analyzed in accordance with the following four points: 1. Mutual relationship between village people and natural environment as reflected by the way people gather Zenmai. 2. Production of Zenmai and its economic importance to village life. 3. Communal characteristics of the village as represented by the customary practice of Zenmai gathering. 4. People's perception of the balance between nature and their Zenmai gathering activities.This paper is based on 40 days field research from May to December in 1981.The results can be summarized as follows.1) The gathering area for each family around 1970 was determined. The size of these areas did not change following 1970. The village people who gathered Zenmai were aware of Zenmai ecology. The gathering territory was decided by mutual agreement. This produced stability and high Zenmai production.2) In 1981 however the area changed as most land came to be used by two or more families. Overgathering, a disregard of Zenmai ecology and destruction of the gathering territory structure occurred. This state of affairs has produced changes in people's perception of their relationship to nature and instability in Zenmai production.3) The change in the Zenmai gathering field structure was caused by a dam construction plan, which has been in negotiation for ten years. No final agreement has yet been reached. The other causes of the change were the increase in the number of Zenmai gatherers, and the emergence of new Zenmai gathering areas caused by the expansion of older areas.As described in the four points mentioned above, the changes in Miomote, an area waiting a decision concerning the future dam site, show clearly the deterioration of a once stable community toward that of an unstable state.
