Relationships between heat alerts, extreme heat days, and heat related mortality within the contiguous United States over the last decade

A gap of knowledge lies within the hazard of extreme heat within the United States and the public’s response and perception of their own vulnerability. Even with constant communication from meteorologist at the National Weather Service and within the broadcast industry, there are still ongoing issues which include the possibility that ambient air temperature from fixed sites do not accurately reflect what the general population is experiencing, that the thresholds for excessive heat warnings are not appropriate, and that the most vulnerable individuals do not have the knowledge, and/or ability to protect themselves when extreme heat does occur. Assessment of the spatial pattens of heat alerts across the United States, mortality risks associated with extreme heat, and days above alert thresholds between 2010 to 2021 will be utilized to exhibit cities and regions where thresholds could be inappropriate and to reveal the most vulnerable between regions within this period

Terrestrial Laser Interferometers

Terrestrial laser interferometers for gravitational-wave detection made the landmark first detection of gravitational waves in 2015. We provide an overview of the history of how these laser interferometers prevailed as the most promising technology in the search for gravitational waves. We describe their working principles and their limitations, and provide examples of some of the most important technologies that enabled their construction. We introduce each of the four large-scale laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors in operation around the world today and provide a brief outlook for the future of ground-based detectors.Comment: Invited chapter for "Handbook of Gravitational Wave Astronomy" (Eds.

REKENAAR-ONDERRIGPROGRAMME VIR LATYN VIR REGSTUDENTE: TEORIE EN PRAKTYK

INLEIDENDE OPMERKINGS Sedert 1987 bet die Departement Latyn, Universiteit Stellenboscb, bom toegele op die daarstel van rekenaarbulp vir Latynstudente. Tot einde 1994 was Latyn verplig vir regstudente, en bulle moes binne 'n jaar tot Matrikulasievlak gebring word, voordat bulle 'n volwaardige eerstejaarskursus, met beide regs- en klassieke tekste as basis, kon aandurf. Rekenaarbulp is gesien as 'n middel om die basiese begeleide inoefening, waarvoor daar in so 'n vlugge kursus geen klastyd is nie, in studente se eie tyd aan bulle beskikbaar te stel. Daar is in die afgelope nege jaar deurgaans gepoog om rekenskap te gee oor wat bereik word. Die moontlikhede en toepassing van die rekenaar in die onderrig van Latynse letteren taalkunde is dus deurgrondelik ondersoek. Die studie bet twee aspekte bebels, evaluering van beskikbare programmatuur, en die opweeg van onderrigmoontlikhede aan die band van studente-prestasie
