"Building the Trans-Asia Highway" Bali’s Mandara toll road Executive Summary International Road Federation Better Roads. Better World. 1 International Road Federation | Washington, D.C. ogether with the Ministry of Public Works Indonesia, we chose the theme “Building the Trans-Asia Highway” to bring new emphasis to a visionary project Tthat traces its roots back to 1959. This Congress brought the region’s stakeholders together to identify new and innovative resources to bridge the current financing gap, while also sharing case studies, best practices and new technologies that can all contribute to making the Trans-Asia Highway a reality. This Congress was a direct result of the IRF’s strategic vision to become the world’s leading industry knowledge platform to help countries everywhere progress towards safer, cleaner, more resilient and better connected transportation systems. The Congress was also a reflection of Indonesia’s rising global stature. Already the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia aims to be one of world’s leading economies, an achievement that will require the continued development of not just its own transportation network, but also that of its neighbors. Thank you for joining us in Bali for this landmark regional event. H.E. Eng. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel IRF Chairman Minister of Transport, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Indonesia Hosts the Region’s Premier Transportation Meeting Indonesia was the proud host to the 1st IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition, a regional gathering of more than 700 transportation professionals from 52 countries — including Ministers, senior national and local government officials, academics, civil society organizations and industry leaders.

    The World's Colonisation and Trade Routes Formation As Imitated By

    The World's Colonisation and Trade Routes Formation as Imitated by Slime Mould Andrew Adamatzky University of the West of England, Bristol, United Kingdom This is unedited preprint with low-resolution photographs. Final and edited version of this paper is published in Int. J. Bifurcation Chaos, 22, 1230028 (2012) [26 pages] DOI: 10.1142/S0218127412300285 Abstract The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is renowned for spanning sources of nutrients with networks of protoplasmic tubes. The networks transport nutrients and metabolites across the plas- modium's body. To imitate a hypothetical colonisation of the world and formation of major trans- portation routes we cut continents from agar plates arranged in Petri dishes or on the surface of a three-dimensional globe, represent positions of selected metropolitan areas with oat flakes and inoculate the plasmodium in one of the metropolitan areas. The plasmodium propagates towards the sources of nutrients, spans them with its network of protoplasmic tubes and even crosses bare substrate between the continents. From the laboratory experiments we derive weighted Physarum graphs, analyse their structure, compare them with the basic proximity graphs and generalised graphs derived from the Silk Road and the Asia Highway networks. Keywords: biological transport networks, unconventional computing, slime mould 1 Introduction Nature-inspired computing paradigms and experimental laboratory prototypes are demonstrated reason- able success in approximation of shortest, and often collision-free, paths between two given points in an arXiv:1209.3958v1 [nlin.AO] 18 Sep 2012 Euclidean space or a graph. Examples include ant-based optimisation of communication networks [15], approximation of a shortest path in experimental reaction-diffusion chemical systems [1], gas-discharge analog systems [35], spatially extended crystallisation systems [5], fungi mycelia networks [22], and maze solving by Physarum polycephalum [29].

Well known as opera and tango singer, she sings her own songs in a uniquely souly style. The theatrical pop of the Berlin based 2- to 5 piece (vocs with piano, cello, computer, bass, and percussion, optional drums, and brass) brings to mind 60ies spy stories and Science Fiction movies remixed, or vintage revues. And: Feline's burning voice and fiery performance in ball gown and circus corset. Collateral damage included. Releases: Behaviour! (2011), Science Fiction (2013), Lies (2015), Truths (2016). Label: motor entertainment The band has been Discovered in Autumn 2014 by well known US producer Jason Rubal (Amanda Palmer, Frenchy & the Punk, Garbage, Pandora's Bliss, birdeatsbaby...) who recorded an album (LIES) with them and the incredible drummer Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls, Violent Femmes...). In 2015, the band was recognized by German government and Berlin senate with two granted funds and sent as „Berlin ambassadors“ to the U.S. and to France. IN 2016, they tour the U.S. again, U.K., Germany, and Italy, including appearances at major festivals.
