Racial Inequality between Gentrifiers: How the Race of Gentrifiers Affects Retail Development in Gentrifying Neighborhoods

Abstract Research often links gentrification to racial inequality. Nevertheless, scholars know surprisingly little about whether the racial composition of gentrifiers moderates the consequences of gentrification. Few quantitative studies compare the effects of gentrification across different racial groups, and those that do tend to limit their outcome of interest to housing. This paper represents perhaps the first ever large–scale assessment of the ways in which gentrifiers’ racial composition is associated with local retail development. Using data on retailers in over 500 U.S. cities between 2000 and 2010, the paper shows that retail development was significantly slower in neighborhoods gentrified by Blacks rather than Whites. Put differently, White gentrifiers gained a disproportionate amount of the retail development associated with gentrification. Scholars must acknowledge that the consequences of gentrification vary depending on the racial composition of gentrifiers, which is likely one reason why the field struggles to appropriately operationalize and measure gentrification.
How To Schedule A Flow Shop Plant By Agents

The flow shop scheduling problem consists, according to a certain number of criteria, in finding the best possible allocation of n jobs on m resources, so that operations of every job must be processed on all resources in a unique order. Because of its highly combinatorial aspect, this scheduling procedure has been widely studied in the literature by exact and mostly heuristic methods. The approach, we adopt here to deal with this problem, combines a Multi-Agent system with a stochastic combinatorial optimization tool, the simulated annealing. This paper stresses the efficiency and the optimality of a distributed implementation of this tool compared to a classical one.
Affective neurolinguistics: towards a framework for reconciling language and emotion

ABSTRACT Standard neurocognitive models of language processing have tended to obviate the need for incorporating emotion processes, while affective neuroscience theories have typically been concerned with the way in which people communicate their emotions, and have often simply not addressed linguistic issues. Here, we summarise evidence from temporal and spatial brain imaging studies that have investigated emotion effects on lexical, semantic and morphosyntactic aspects of language during the comprehension of single words and sentences. The evidence reviewed suggests that emotion is represented in the brain as a set of semantic features in a distributed sensory, motor, language and affective network. Also, emotion interacts with a number of lexical, semantic and syntactic features in different brain regions and timings. This is in line with the proposals of interactive neurocognitive models of language processing, which assume the interplay between different representational levels during on-line language comprehension.
Estimation and Sensitivity Analysis of the Survivor Average Causal Effect under the Monotonicity Assumption

In randomized trials in which the outcome requires considerable follow-up, participants may die before the trial is complete. In such cases, the outcome is undefined. This situation is sometimes referred to as “truncated by death” or “censored by death” [2,3]. In these settings, a crude comparison between the survivors of each treatment arm may give misleading results because the randomization is no longer preserved by conditioning on a post-treatment event (survival), and thus the crude comparison is not a comparison of the same population comparing different treatments but is a comparison of different populations [4].

Risk Perception and Tourist Types

Over time, tourism has become an industry that has a visible impact on the overall development of the society. This study examines the impact of perceived risks on different types of tourists classified on the basis of travel motives and would help develop a variety of risk-reducing phenomena and paraphernalia to supply to the traveller. Based on a survey conducted among tourists visiting a tourist destination, the study explores the differences in risk perception among different tourist types. The study uses a self-designed scale on type of risks against the ITR scale that classifies travellers into three types based on their travel motives. Findings supported two types of tourist classification against the three types in the existing ITR scale. Findings further revealed that there is a significant difference in the risk perception of the two types of tourists based on their travel motives in case of satisfaction risk, exhaustion risk and psychological risk.
EVALUATION OF BULK ORGANIC CARBON ISOTOPE RECORDS FROM EARLY PALEOGENE STRATA IN THE HANNA BASIN (WYOMING, U.S.A.) SPANNING THE PALEOCENEEOCENE THERMAL MAXIMUM

The early Paleogene was dominated by a global greenhouse climatic state punctuated by abrupt, transient warming events known as hyperthermals (McInerney and Wing, 2011). These hyperthermals were each less than ~200,000 years long and were associated with perturbations in the global carbon cycle (McInerney and Wing, 2011). The perturbations are manifested as negative excursions in stable carbon isotope records from proxies hosted in both marine and nonmarine strata (McInerney and Wing, 2011). The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was the largest of these events and occurred approximately 56 million years ago (McInerney and Wing, 2011). Although identified at many locations within marine strata, there exist only a few locations in nonmarine strata where the climatic event has been identified (McInerney and Wing, 2011). This study sought to extend the geographic range of these localities by developing a bulk organic carbon isotope record from early Paleogene strata in the Hanna Basin of south-central Wyoming.
Birdstrike: An investigation on feasible bird models for nonlinear explicit finite element analyses

Regardless to the efforts provided and the progresses achieved, birdstrike still represents a serious menace for flight safety. A birdstrike is characterised by large nonlinear elastic and inelastic deformations, high strain rate and high impact loads transferred in a very short time. The mutual dependency of impact loads and structure response calls for the use of advanced numerical techniques. In particular, nonlinear explicit finite element codes have shown to be a reliable tool to design bird-proof structures. In finite element analyses, the bird model is central. In view of that, various approaches to model the bird are considered referring to normal and oblique impacts onto a rigid target. Differently from other similar works focused only on flesh-and-bones birds, here, also artificial (jelly) birds are considered. The customary Lagrangian, Eulerian and Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian approaches are compared with the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, the Discrete Element and the Element Free Galerkin ones. Eventually, findings and guidelines for using of these models are obtained.
Energy dependence of exclusive J/ψ photoproduction off protons in ultra-peripheral p–Pb collisions at sNN−−−√=5.02 TeV

The ALICE Collaboration has measured the energy dependence of exclusive photoproduction of J /ψ vector mesons off proton targets in ultra–peripheral p–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √ s NN = 5 . 02 TeV. The e + e − and μ + μ − decay channels are used to measure the cross section as a function of the rapidity of the J /ψ in the range − 2 . 5 < y < 2 . 7, corresponding to an energy in the γ p centre-of-mass in the interval 40 < W γ p < 550 GeV.Themeasurements,whichareconsis-tent with a power law dependence of the exclusive J /ψ photoproduction cross section, are compared to previous results from HERA and the LHC and to several theoretical models. They are found to be compatible with previous measurements.
Emerging and reemerging zoonoses and their importance for animal health and production

Abstract – The factors for disease emergence or reemergence are little known and understood, but the main one is the expansion of the human population. Other factors include climate change, globalization, and intensification of animal production. This is disturbing, given that 75% of emerging or reemerging human diseases of the last century are zoonoses, that is, animal diseases, which, besides causing human and animal fatalities, affect the economy of countries. It is estimated that the impact of animal diseases exceeds 20% of the losses in animal production worldwide. Brazil is a major agricultural producer and has most of its territory in the tropical region, harboring the greatest environmental biodiversity of the globe. Studies have pointed the Amazon region as a hot spot where diseases have emerged or will emerge. In this context, the formation of a cooperation network with strategic actions for monitoring, research, communication, and training is recommended. It is essential to foster partnerships in the areas of health, agriculture, and environment for a prompt national and global response. The objective of this work was to address the main factors involved in the emergence or reemergence of zoonoses, as well as future threats and the strategic importance of Brazilian research and surveillance.Index terms: health threats, animal diseases, research, animal sanity, One Health.
A nonstationary runoff frequency analysis for future climate change and its uncertainties

With the intensification of climate change, its impact on runoff variations cannot be ignored. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the nonstationarity of runoff frequency adjusted for future climate change in the Luanhe River basin, China, and quantify the different sources of uncertainties in nonstationary runoff frequency analysis. The advantage of our method is the combination of generalized additive models in location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) and downscaling models. The nonstationary GAMLSS models were established for the nonstationary frequency analysis of runoff (1961–2010) by using the observed precipitation as a covariate, which is closely related to runoff and contributes significantly to its nonstationarity. To consider the nonstationary effects of future climate change on future runoff variations, the downscaled precipitation series in the future (2011–2080) from the general circulation models (GCMs) were substituted into the selected nonstationary model to calculate the statistical parameters and runoff frequency in the future. A variance decomposition method was applied to quantify the impacts of different sources of uncertainty on the nonstationary runoff frequency analysis. The results show that the impacts of uncertainty in the GCMs, scenarios, and statistical parameters of the GAMLSS model increase with increasing runoff magnitude. In addition, GCMs and GAMLSS model parameters have the main impacts on runoff uncertainty, accounting for 14% and 83% of the total uncertainty sources, respectively. Conversely, the interactions and scenarios make limited contributions, accounting for 2% and 1%, respectively. Further analysis shows that the sources of uncertainty in the statistical parameters of the nonstationary model mainly result from the fluctuations in the precipitation sequence. This result indicates the necessity of considering the precipitation sequence as a covariate for runoff frequency analysis in the future.
AUDITOR’S ETHICAL JUDGEMENTS: ASSESSING THE EFFECT OF ETHICAL SENSITIVITY AND ETHICAL CLIMATE

This study examined effects of ethical sensitivity and ethical climate on auditors’ ethical judgements. The study employed a ‘between subjects’ experimental design to assess auditors’ judgements on ethical dilemmas relating to issues of independence and confidentiality. Participants consist of 146 auditors from Big 4 and Non Big 4 firms. Results showed ethical sensitivity had a significant positive effect on auditors’ ethical judgements. However, the effect of ethical sensitivity on auditors’ ethical judgements was moderated by the ethical climate of the firm. The positive effect of ethical sensitivity is stronger in higher ethical climate. Keywords: ethical judgements, International Standards of Quality Control (ISQC) 1, ethical climate, ethical sensitivity, independence and confidentiality

Vision based obstacle detection for all-terrain robots

This dissertation presents a solution to the problem of obstacle detection in all-terrain environments, with particular interest for mobile robots equipped with a stereo vision sensor. Despite the advantages of vision, over other kind of sensors, such as low cost, light weight and reduced energetic footprint, its usage still presents a series of challenges. These include the difficulty in dealing with the considerable amount of generated data, and the robustness required to manage high levels of noise. Such problems can be diminished by making hard assumptions, like considering that the terrain in front of the robot is planar. Although computation can be considerably saved, such simplifications are not necessarily acceptable in more complex environments, where the terrain may be considerably uneven. This dissertation proposes to extend a well known obstacle detector that relaxes the aforementioned planar terrain assumption, thus rendering it more adequate for unstructured environments. The proposed extensions involve: (1) the introduction of a visual saliency mechanism to focus the detection in regions most likely to contain obstacles; (2) voting filters to diminish sensibility to noise; and (3) the fusion of the detector with a complementary method to create a hybrid solution, and thus, more robust. Experimental results obtained with demanding all-terrain images show that, with the proposed extensions, an increment in terms of robustness and computational efficiency over the original algorithm is observed.

Engineering security protocols with modelchecking – Radius-SHA256 and secured simple protocol.

This paper presents Radius-SHA256, an adaptation of the Radius protocol for remote authentication for network access to the secure hash function SHA- 256 and a Secure Simple Protocol. Both protocols have been formalized in the Avispa model checker, an automated verification tool for security of protocols. The work on Radius utilizes the existing formalization of the standard Radius protocol thereby establishing general validity and transferability of the established security proof and showing how refactoring can be applied in security protocol engineering. The development of a secured version of the SP protocol shows how gradually adding cryptographic keys to a transport protocol can introduce verified security while maintaining a level of trust in the adapted protocol.
First measurements with the K-monochromator at the European XFEL.

Hard X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) generate intense coherent X-ray beams by passing electrons through undulators, i.e. very long periodic magnet structures, which extend over hundreds of meters. The SASE1 and SASE2 undulator systems of the European XFEL consist of 35 segments with variable-gap planar undulators which are initially tuned to precise on-axis magnetic field strengths in a magnetic measurement laboratory to keep an important quality parameter - the K-value variation from segment to segment - below a certain limit (3 × 10-4 for 12 keV photon energy). After tunnel installation only photon-based methods can determine the K-values of undulator segments with a similar accuracy. The synchrotron radiation from a single or a few segments can be spectrally filtered by a dedicated crystal monochromator (K-monochromator) and recorded with a photodiode or with an imager that provides 2D information, tuned for high sensitivity to detect low photon densities from distant single undulator segments. This instrumentation is applied for electron orbit analysis and optimization, and adjustment of individual undulators in terms of their central magnetic axis with respect to the electron beam. Single undulator segments were analysed by scanning the monochromator crystal angle and detecting the steepest slope of a photodiode signal. Alternatively, in the imaging method, an imager recorded the radiation cone of electrons passing through the undulator segment. From the spatial distribution of the radiation, the K-parameter was determined with a sufficiently high relative accuracy.
Modeling of hyperthermia induced by functionalized gold nanorods bound to Staphylococcus aureus under NIR laser radiation

In this paper, a theoretical model of the formation of a local temperature field in suspensions of microorganisms with embedded plasmonic gold nanorods under irradiation by low-intensity NIR laser light was considered. The results of numerical modeling of the optical properties of plasmon nanorods used in the experiments, and the results of multiscale modeling of the parameters of local hyperthermia with various types of distribution of the concentration of plasmon nanoparticles are presented. Found that the process of concentration of nanoparticles, functionalized with human immune globulins IgA and IgG, around the cells of microorganisms with the formation of "clouds" leads to the appearance of a microscale zone of elevated temperature. This ensures a synergistic effect of a multiplicative increase in the volume of the hyperthermia zone. The results of numerical simulation provide a justification for the experimentally observed increase in the bacterium killing ability at laser hyperthermia of the cellular environment doped with functionalized nanoparticles, without a noticeable increment in the recorded average sample temperature when irradiated with a low intensity laser beam of around 100 mW/cm2.
Allocation de puissance dans le partage du spectre avec une connaissance partielle des canaux

This paper addresses the spectrum-sharing in single-antenna fading channels for wireless communications, where a secondary or cognitive user (CR) shares a spectrum with an existing spectrum-licensee or primary user (PR), and, thus interferes with it. The secondary user is supposed to transmit as long as the interference caused by its transmission onto the primary receiver remains bellow a predefined threshold. In fact, we investigate a power control design for the secondary user under joint peak and average received-power constraints at the PR receiver and, in particular, under a new criterion named here by the sum-capacity-profit constraint (SCPC). The SCPC ensures that the sum of the throughputs of the PR and the CR links is greater than the throughput of the PR transmitting alone over the spectrum without any interfering user. Considering these constraints, we show that under some simple criterion (independently of the channels gains), we can design a power control policy, for the secondary spectrum user, exploiting the direct link channel state information (CSI) only.
