Natural Flood Management (NFM) and catchment-based solutions for flood risk management environmental problems are wide-ranging complex. of fluvial in the UK is undergoing a fundamental shift, with change emphasis from solely working structural defences to considering measures which attenuate runoff. At heart this NFM nature-based solutions. One key type intervention Runoff Attenuation Feature (...

Theodore Sider has argued that while there are some philosophical debates about which is no fact of the matter, in normative ethics likely not among them. This essay investigates a possible counterexample: debate so-called dirty hands. The first surveys several cases where No-Fact-of-the-Matter (NFM) claims have been made. Taking its cue from these cases, it then outlines two strategies factual...

A wide-range neutron flux measurement instrument is developed herein for monitoring the total emission rate and yield of Large Helical Device (LHD) during deuterium experiments implemented from March 2017 in National Institute Fusion Science (NIFS), Japan. The designed installed on Neutron Flux Monitoring (NFM) system, which measures counting using a 235U Fission Chamber. By combining pulse Cam...

A method using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to evidence flood changes after floodplain restoration is proposed. Natural Flood Management (NFM) project on the Ouse river in southern England, undertaken by Sussex Flow Initiative, was analysed ascertain any reduction of previous risk. GIS operations were conducted results change detection analysis identify how area, form and comp...

Event-by-event intermittency analysis of Toy Monte Carlo events is performed in the scenario high multiplicity as case at recent colliders RHIC and LHC for AA collisions. A power law behaviour Normalized Factorial Moments (NFM), F_{q} Fq function number bin...

Abstract Attentional mechanisms play an important role in artificial intelligence, and inspired by other work, we apply them the field of recommendation algorithms. By combining factorization machine neural network together through parallel structure, linear model is used for binary feature interaction, nonlinear relationship between features explored using network. We propose Att-NFM to learn ...

Natural Flood Management (NFM) is now well established as a paradigm for reducing flood risk. It characterised by adopting catchment-wide hydrological perspective and implementing solutions that work with natural processes such wetlands, riparian vegetation river channel rehabilitation. However, despite substantial attention in the science literature growing appreciation NFM among environmental...

The use of in-stream wood is one the most commonly employed natural flood management (NFM) techniques. effectiveness NFM structures in reducing risks (i.e., their “primary” effect) has been relatively well documented. However, additional or “secondary” effects on other processes have not fully evaluated. These secondary can be inferred by reviewing previous studies that scrutinized accumulation...

Peripherin, a neuronal intermediate filament protein implicated in neurodegenerative disease, coexists with the neurofilament triplet proteins [neurofilament light (NFL), medium (NFM), and heavy (NFH) chain] but has an unknown function. The earlier peak expression of peripherin than the triplet during brain development and its ability to form homopolymers, unlike the triplet, which are obligate...

Background Acute myocarditis (AM) is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle. Clinical presentation and outcome are variable, ranging from asymptomatic to fulminant myocarditis (FM), presenting with decompensated heart failure or cardiogenic shock needing inotropic or mechanical circulatory support. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly employed in the diagnosis and follow-up (f....
