In our current Brownfield Braintrust Podcast, Matt Winefield of Winefield & Associates, Inc. sheds light on Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems (VIMS) with the help of Justin Conaway, Vice President and General Manager of Terra-Petra Environmental Engineering. Given evolving soil vapor mitigation standards, VIMS are currently much more prevalent than just three years ago. It is unlikely one can acquire, for example, a former dry cleaner site (with PCE releases), run a vapor extraction system, and then pour your foundation. The lead agency will likely specify a VIMS that operates for the life of the new building. Justin explains the three most common VIMS technologies now utilized.

Die BBC hat entschieden: Liverpool wird die Eurovision-Gemeinde im Mai begrüßen - sollte sich die Eurovision-Gemeinde das auch leisten können, denn die Übernachtungspreise sind ins Astronomische gestiegen. Der Stadtrat möchte gegensteuern, was wohl auch nötig sein wird. Vielleicht wird man für das Live Erlebnis auf "Eurovision in Concert" ausweichen müssen, das am 15.4.2023 in Amsterdam über die Bühne gehen wird.Ein vorläufiges Aus für den Song Contest kommt aus Nordmazedonein, Montenegro und Bulgarien. Die drei Länder haben aus unterschiedlichen Gründen abgesagt. Zumindest für die Teilnahme Montenegros gibt es noch ein Fünkchen Hoffnung: Enisa, die recht erfolgreiche Teilnehmerin des American Song Contests, deren Eltern aus Montenegro stammen, möchte Sponsoren für das Land aufbringen und selbst teilnehmen.Das könnte das Fensterchen für ein neues Land öffnen: Kasachstan ist schon länger im Gespräch und die Chancen stehen gut, dass die ehemalige Sowjetrepublik 2023 beim Eurovision Song Contest ihr Debut gibt.Sie ist eine Legende des deutschsprachigen und norwegischen Schlagers. Wencke Myhre - in Norwegen Wenche geschrieben - nahm bei zahllosen Vorentscheide teil. 1968 vertrat sie Deutschland mit "Ein Hoch der Liebe". Marco traf die Legende in München bei der OGAE Germany Gala. Sie verrät uns ihre Liebe zum ESC und Alexander Rybak.Wencke Myrhe wurde 1947 in Oslo geboren und schon als junges Mädchen erhielt sie einen Plattenvertrag. Mit einer norwegischen Coverversion von Gitte Hænnings "Ich will nen Cowboy als Mann" wurde sie in ihrem Heimatland zum Star. 1964 trat sie erstmals beim norwegischen Schlagerfestival (und Vorentscheid zum ESC) "Melodi Grand Prix" auf. Ihr "En God Gammel Firkantet Vals" erreichte den zweiten Platz. Die Plattenfirma Polydor scoutete sie für den deutschsprachigen Markt und bereits mit 17 nahm sie ihre ersten deutschsprachigen Schallplatten auf. "Beiß nicht gleich in jeden Apfel" war 1966 ihr Durchbruch in Deutschland und Österreich und gilt noch immer als Klassiker. Im selben Jahr trat sie zum zweiten Mal beim norwegischen Melodi Grand Prix auf. Sie interpretierte gleich zwei Songs, "Vims" (fünfter Platz) und “Lørdagstripp” (vierter Platz), die allerdings weit weg vom Siegertreppchen waren.Als erste nicht in Deutschland lebende Interpretin wurde Myrhe schließlich 1968 für Deutschland mit "Ein Hoch der Liebe" (geschrieben von der Musikerlegende Horst Jankowski) ins Rennen geschickt und erreichte in London den respektablen 6. Platz. Der Song wurde zum Klassiker und von der Zeit vor Ort erzählt sie bei Marco vor allem Gutes.Für Deutschland versuchte sie es nochmals 1983 und sang im Duett mit ihrem Sohn Dany "Wir beide gegen den Wind", für Norwegen 1992 mit "Du skal få din dag i morgen" und 2009 "Alt har en mening nå". Geschickt wurde damals bekanntlich ein gewisser Alexander Rybak. Sein Siegersong in Moskau, "Fairytale", ist auch ihr Lieblings-Eurovision-Song aller Zeiten.Gemeinsam mit ihren skandinavischen Superstar-Kolleginnen (und Song Contest Legenden) Gitte Hænning aus Dänemark ("Junger Tag" 1973) und der Schwedin Siw Malmkvist (1969 mit "Primaballerina") gestaltete sie die "GWS Show" 2005. Aus einem kurzem Gastspiel im überschaubaren Tipi am Kanzleramt in Berlin wurde eine gefeierte Konzerttournee mit über 500 Vorstellungen. Und einem Auftritt beim deutschen Vorentscheid mit ihrem Eurovision-Medley.Seit weit über 20 Jahren lebt sie mit ihrem musikalischen Begleiter (und ABBA-Keyboarder), dem Arrangeur Anders Eljas zusammen.In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Alkis von einem anderen norwegischen Musiker, von Jan Teigen, der 1983 beim norwegischen Melodi Grand Prix ein kleines schönes Lied namens "Do Re Mi" sang. Mit Background-Chor.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.30.180786v1?rss=1 Authors: Miyazaki, J., Yamamoto, H., Ichimura, Y., Yamashiro, H., Murase, T., Yamamoto, T., Umeda, M., Higuchi, T. Abstract: Movies depicting certain types of motion often provoke uncomfortable symptoms similar to motion sickness, termed visually induced motion sickness (VIMS). VIMS generally evolves slowly during the viewing of a motion stimulus and, when the stimulus is removed, the recovery proceeds over time. Recent human neuroimaging studies have provided new insights into the neural bases underlying the evolution of VIMS. In contrast, no study has investigated the neural bases underlying the recovery from VIMS. Study of the recovery process is critical for the development of a way to promote recovery and could provide further clues for understanding the mechanisms of VIMS. We thus investigated brain activity during the recovery from VIMS with functional connectivity (FC) magnetic resonance imaging. We found enhanced recovery-related FC patterns involving brain areas such as the insular, cingulate, and visual cortical regions, which have been suggested to play important roles in the emergence of VIMS. These regions also constituted large interactive networks. Furthermore, the increase in FC was correlated with the subjective awareness of recovery for the following 5 pairs of brain regions: insula-superior temporal gyrus, claustrum-left and right inferior parietal lobules, claustrum-superior temporal gyrus, and superior frontal gyrus-lentiform nucleus. Considering the previous findings on the functions of these regions and the present findings, it is suggested that the increase in FC may reflect brain processes such as enhanced interoceptive awareness to one's own bodily state, a neuroplastic change in visual processing circuits, and/or the maintenance of visual spatial memory.

Background: The random forest (RF) method is a commonly used tool for classification with high dimensional data as well as for ranking candidate predictors based on the so-called random forest variable importance measures (VIMs). However the classification performance of RF is known to be suboptimal in case of strongly unbalanced data, i.e. data where response class sizes differ considerably. Suggestions were made to obtain better classification performance based either on sampling procedures or on cost sensitivity analyses. However to our knowledge the performance of the VIMs has not yet been examined in the case of unbalanced response classes. In this paper we explore the performance of the permutation VIM for unbalanced data settings and introduce an alternative permutation VIM based on the area under the curve (AUC) that is expected to be more robust towards class imbalance. Results: We investigated the performance of the standard permutation VIM and of our novel AUC-based permutation VIM for different class imbalance levels using simulated data and real data. The results suggest that the new AUC-based permutation VIM outperforms the standard permutation VIM for unbalanced data settings while both permutation VIMs have equal performance for balanced data settings. Conclusions: The standard permutation VIM loses its ability to discriminate between associated predictors and predictors not associated with the response for increasing class imbalance. It is outperformed by our new AUC-based permutation VIM for unbalanced data settings, while the performance of both VIMs is very similar in the case of balanced classes. The new AUC-based VIM is implemented in the R package party for the unbiased RF variant based on conditional inference trees. The codes implementing our study are available from the companion website: http://www.ibe.med.uni-muenchen.de/organisation/mitarbeiter/070_drittmi ttel/janitza/index.html.
Background: Random forests (RF) have been increasingly used in applications such as genome-wide association and microarray studies where predictor correlation is frequently observed. Recent works on permutation-based variable importance measures (VIMs) used in RF have come to apparently contradictory conclusions. We present an extended simulation study to synthesize results. Results: In the case when both predictor correlation was present and predictors were associated with the outcome (H(A)), the unconditional RF VIM attributed a higher share of importance to correlated predictors, while under the null hypothesis that no predictors are associated with the outcome (H(0)) the unconditional RF VIM was unbiased. Conditional VIMs showed a decrease in VIM values for correlated predictors versus the unconditional VIMs under H(A) and was unbiased under H(0). Scaled VIMs were clearly biased under H(A) and H(0). Conclusions: Unconditional unscaled VIMs are a computationally tractable choice for large datasets and are unbiased under the null hypothesis. Whether the observed increased VIMs for correlated predictors may be considered a "bias" - because they do not directly reflect the coefficients in the generating model - or if it is a beneficial attribute of these VIMs is dependent on the application. For example, in genetic association studies, where correlation between markers may help to localize the functionally relevant variant, the increased importance of correlated predictors may be an advantage. On the other hand, we show examples where this increased importance may result in spurious signals.
