RV 2014: The Infill TOD Circus- Step Right Up! by Meea KangRail~Volution
The Infill TOD Circus: Step Right Up
Developing within a built-up transit corridor has unique challenges: demolition, infrastructure improvements, increases in scale, access improvements, community opposition (or support) and financing. Add to those, managing expectations for a new transit facility in an existing community, and infill TOD can be a real circus. Hear our panel of developers talk about their experiences. What does it take to develop that mixed-use environment everyone wants? How can you manage expectations? And what does it take to establish a brand?

Monday, September 22, 1:15 pm–5:15 pm
Large institutions draw workers, customers and visitors: the MSP Airport, VA Hospital and Federal Government Center; Fort Snelling National Historic Site and State Park; the State Air Guard, Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve Centers; and the Mall of America. Travel the METRO Blue Line to see how these institutions met unique engineering challenges and incorporated LRT into their facility sites, operations and the very fabric of their organizations. Hear from the DNR, Metropolitan Airport Commission, VA hospital and city staff.
RV 2014: Public Private Partnerships: The P3 Experience by Gregory BenzRail~Volution
Public-Private Partnerships: The P3 Experience AICP CM 1.5
Public-private partnerships (P3s) are on the upswing. After a strong start with vertical building delivery in the US and many transit projects in Canada, the P3 model for transit seems to be here to stay. Upcoming projects in Baltimore and Denver are piquing interest across the US. Is P3 right for your project? How have recent projects fared? Listen as panel members explore recent applications, trends and benefits of the P3 delivery method. Learn how to assess your own project in terms of the P3 model. Hear how P3 is helping accomplish broader community development, sustainability and mobility goals throughout North America.

Developing Workforce Opportunities with Transit: Regional Stories AICP CM 1.5
3 regions = 3 distinct stories. How are workforce initiatives in Denver, Seattle and the Twin Cities helping businesses and economies grow along transit? Leaders from community colleges, cities and counties share their experiences. Models include: a training and employment program for transit construction and operators; a corridor-level model focused on employees and business development and retention; and an innovative approach to developing a food hub employment center near new transit.

"Word and Image: Martin Luther's Reformation"Kerry Murdoch
LSSNY and friends celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation at the Morgan Museum and Library. Guests joined us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the advance preview of "Word and Image: Martin Luther's Reformation".
We were told to write down each word that a child spoke to us as well as the words we spoke. We then had to count the morphemes in the child's conversation with us to determine whether or not he/she were correctly communicated for their age.
The class was instructed to evaluate a child and their speech processes. The analysis focused on the child's phonological, morphological, semantic, and pragmatic abilities.
RV 2014: Value Capture: Myth or Reality? by Nadine FogartyRail~Volution
Value Capture: Myth or Reality?
Capturing the value of public transit investments can be a tricky business. Everybody has a vested interest. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Value capture strategies include joint development, special assessment districts, tax increment financing and development impact fees. But how much of the value actually makes it back to the transit agency? Where have these strategies been successful and why? What does the FTA think about value capture? Explore the concepts of value capture, learn from real projects and hear the latest thinking directly from the FTA.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
2. The Scene
• Silty clay loam soil (Nora/Crofton/Moody Association)
• No-till
• First year out of 6+ years continuous corn
• 15” Row Spacing
• 1.25-1.5” Planting Depth
• 145,000 original population planted
• Pivot irrigated
3. June 11, 2014
Poor stand (around 75,000 ppa)
5 Replications of field length strips were replanted in 30” rows diagonal to existing
rows at 145,000 spa
Seeds under heavy residue
4. August 23, 2014
Replanted on June 11, 2014 across
existing rows at 145,000 spa.
Low stand (75,000-85,000 ppa)
on June 11, 2014, not replanted.
