Summary of the Project. The purpose of the Project is to implement an IP-Based Next Generation 9-1-1, NENA i3 compliant communication system (compliant with NENA Standard 08-003) for 15 counties and one municipality in southern Illinois. CSI is comprised of multiple 911 systems with between one and four PSAPs each. There are a combined 47 positions, with approximately 30 to 34 manned on any given shift. All CSI PSAPs are currently taking phase II wireless calls or will be by the time this project commences. CSI will provide the ESInet thru Clearwave Communications, which has or will receive a grant to connect the originating service providers, PSAPs and data centers. NG-911 will provide the hardware, software and services needed to run a next generation 9-1-1 system on that network. NG-911 will provide map display software, but CSI will provide GIS data services. The system will be used to process, answer and direct all "calls" placed to 9-1-1. The system must support a minimum of two (2) geographically diverse, fully redundant data/system hosting centers, one at the Saline County Sheriff’s Department in Harrisburg and one at the Jackson County Sheriffs Department in Murphysboro. The system must be capable of receiving 9-1-1 calls in a native Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) format upon installation and must include gateways for legacy wireline, wireless and VOIP calls and SMS and IM. The system must be capable of expansion to multiple additional counties/PSAPs by simply adding additional software and hardware. The system must be able to integrate with a local ALI database management system as well as an integrated Mapped-ALI display and interface with current CAD systems. The system must be GIS-centric and able to spatially route calls and must have the capability to use the GIS database in the future as the primary 9-1-1 validation database. CSI has, or will, contract with a third party to provide GIS staff to maintain the data layers, scrub the existing data and put data in NENA standard formats. Individual 911 Coordinators will provide updates to the road, structure, corporate boundary and jurisdictional layers. CSI will synchronize the GIS data with the MSAG and ALI databases. CSI recognizes that a robust NG9-1-1 communications system capable of accepting all calls for emergency services in an efficient and accurate manner is the primary responsibility of CSI and its members. NG-911 will train IT personnel from CSI to provide primary on-site Tier 1 support of the proposed sy...
Summary of the Project. The Recipient will develop, construct and operate a 30 MW / 288 MWh Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project at Port Augusta in South Australia (the Project). The Project will deploy Vast Solar’s proprietary modular tower CSP technology, and if successful, will demonstrate how the technology can provide a reliable and scalable dispatchable renewable energy solution in the Australian market.
Summary of the Project. Objectives of the project. XXXXX’s aim is to develop an operational framework for Civil Protection (CP) authorities to rapidly and cost- effectively assess the seismic vulnerability of the built environment. The framework will provide information to advise decision makers as to the most appropriate preventative actions. It will cover cases where there is a need for short-notice vulnerability assessment in a pre-event situation, and the monitoring of the built environment’s dynamic vulnerability during a seismic sequence. The framework will be flexible enough to be employed over multiple spatial scales, and its modular structure will ease its applicability to other natural hazard types. Training of CP personal in the developed methods will see the framework integrated into their operational protocols. Why is this project necessary? The occurrence of seismic swarms or foreshocks demands CP authorities to rapidly assess the threatened area’s vulnerability. This is especially the case for regions where there is a dearth of up-to-date and reliable information. Such deficiencies result from, for example, no previous knowledge of the area’s seismicity and inadequately documented urban development. As the crisis unfolds (i.e., the occurrence of a main shock), there is moreover a need for real-time information, that will allow CP responders to adopt their actions to the evolving situation. Such a situation, which may well involve cross-border areas, is an example of what the Community Mechanism for Civil Protection must deal with. The actions called upon for CP will include the dynamic tagging of those structures that have, or may become, unsafe. Such actions will, for example, advise the population as to their movement back to their residences, or in helping to plan emergency accommodation. There is therefore the need for a rapid, cost- effective and flexible framework within which such information may be acquired. Furthermore, such a framework must be readily useable by CP operators, especially considering the frequent disconnection between the research/development and practitioner groups in hazard and risk assessment. Describe the problem the proposal is supposed to address, background and what has been done already. Unfortunately, most state-of-the-art approaches that can provide such information are costly and expertise intensive, hence limiting their large scale applicability and thus their capacity to contribute to efficient prevention actions. The consortiu...

Summary of the Project. Digital Do It Yourself is a new socio-technological phenomenon in which the widespread availability of digital devices supporting the convergence of physical and informational components and the growing accessibility of knowledge and data through open online communities presage scenarios in which the distinction between users and producers of physical artefacts is fuzzy and new opportunities and threats emerge. DiDIY-related technologies and social practices amplify the creativity and skills of individuals who affordably develop digitally self-made objects, e.g., unique- by-design objects designed by 3D modelling software and generated by 3D printers or networked smart objects equipped with microcontrollers dealing with context information via sensors and actuators. Two network effects catalyse DiDIY: what is custom produced by an individual could be the outcome of contributions from a worldwide community of developers sharing their interest towards open innovation, thus operating as knowledge multiplier; what is made available here and now by a smart object could be the aggregation of signals from a set of sources in the network, thus operating as information extender. The Project will study how DiDIY is • reshaping organization and work, education and research, • impacting on social and legal systems, • changing creative design and ethics. The development of a systemic interpretation is the challenge for the multidisciplinary Project team, which will collaboratively explore a complex phenomenon with implications on identity, privacy, reputation, responsibility and safety and will offer a roadmap fostering a DiDIY-based human- centric European development.

Summary of the Project. With the introduction of Uganda‘s Anti-Homosexuality Xxxx two months before my departure from the United States, the course of my study became unclear. Because I was originally planning on working in Kampala on HIV/AIDS education programs for same-sex sexual practicing populations, I was unfamiliar with the context of education programs in Dabani. I jumped into this study with no knowledge of or expectations about the effectiveness of these rural programs and without knowledge of local beliefs concerning homosexuality. For that reason I was quite surprised to find that Dabani had multiple education programs in existence which appeared to effectively teach about the heterosexual transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS. After extensively researching views toward same-sex sexual behavior in Kampala, I was less shocked to see these biases replicated in Dabani. I was expecting to arrive in Dabani and find—as the literature advocated—a need for separate education programs for the same-sex sexual practicing community. Instead, I learned that the stigma associated with homosexuals and same-sex behavior reflected both my experience in Kampala and my reading of related literature. It made complete sense that the stigma in urban areas against these behaviors was even more present in rural areas, where the practice is much more hidden: people imagine that same-sex sexual behaviors are rare. Ultimately, I discovered a need to incorporate the message about same-sex sexual transmission and prevention into standard HIV/AIDS education programs that, at present, only addresses HIV in a heterosexual context. Again, this was a surprising finding because there is no literature that suggests any other intervention for this population.
