Digital divide
Internet

description: As a research area, the scholarship on the digital divide has largely focused on the difference in internet access and availability between urban and rural sites. The proposed research endeavor investigates the digital divide within urban areas to understand the linkages between resiliency, information and communication technologies (ICT), and the field of urban planning. Using GIS visualization and a case study approach, this thesis examines internet access and availability within New York City. The GIS visualization draws upon public sources of data to map areas with low internet penetration within the study area. The case study approach involves interviews with members of Red Hook WiFi, an organization in Red Hook, Brooklyn that is working to address the digital divide through training and community outreach. Using this mixed-methods approach, several conclusions came to light: 1) that the urban digital divide aligns with the theoretical understanding of it as "pockets of inclusion and exclusion" with a socio-economic underpinning, as reported in the literature; 2) current and planned initiatives to address this divide are not sufficient; and 3) the community developed and owned WiFi network has enabled key resiliency capacities that need to be built upon. Given these conclusions, this study concludes by discussing the role that urban planning can play in fostering more resilient communities by becoming engaged in broadband planning and also offers recommendations for city agencies, local organizations, and planners themselves.

description: We consider the problem of calculating the Gaussian curvature of a conical 2-dimensional space by using concepts and techniques of distribution theory. We apply the results obtained to calculate the Riemannian curvature of the 4-dimensional conical space-time. We show that the method can be extended for calculating the curvature of a special class of more general space-times with conical singularity.

description: Three coaxial quantized vortex rings in a Bose-Einstein condensate exhibit aperiodic leapfrogging dynamics. It is found that such circular vortex rings are dynamically unstable against deformation breaking axial rotational symmetry. The dynamics of the system are analyzed using the Gross-Pitaevskii and vortex-filament models. The dependence of the instability on the initial arrangement of the vortex rings is investigated. The system is found to be significantly unstable for a specific configuration of the three vortex rings.

Development rights transfer

description: As a policy tool functioning at the nexus between planning and preservation, Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) was created to alleviate some of the pressure placed on historic structures by market forces. Though not uncontested, planners, preservationists, and developers all believe the use of TDR in Special Districts to be successful for its ability to direct new development across a neighborhood while also protecting architecturally and culturally significant resources. But does this determination hold up to contemporary standards for equitable and sustainable development principles? A critical analysis of the history of planning policy exposes inherent biases that stand counter to contemporary planning goals; a similar investigation of the history of preservation policy reveals a prioritization of aesthetic concerns over wider social goals. Despite the layers of protection built into each Special District policy, and clear intentions to continue their use throughout NYC, they have never undergone a deeper level of analysis beyond economic valuation studies. This thesis bridges multiple disciplines by investigating the intent versus outcomes of TDR in Special Districts through a set of new metrics, employing an evaluative framework based on current planning and preservation discourse. This research consequently suggests that TDR does indeed reconcile preservation and planning aims in a single mechanism but has resulted in lasting socio-spatial consequences that were not anticipated as part of the original policy rationale. Special Districts prioritize real estate and economic development as well as aesthetic considerations over social inclusion and environmental concerns. Ultimately, the evaluation of two New York City case studies, the Theater Subdistrict and the Special West Chelsea District, informs a series of key findings and policy recommendations.
Magnetic excitations in the quasi-2D ferromagnet Fe3-xGeTe2 measured with inelastic neutron scattering

description: Fe3-xGeTe2 is an itinerant ferromagnet composed of two-dimensional layers weakly connected by van der Waals bonding that shows a variety of intriguing phenomena. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on bulk single crystals of Fe2.75GeTe2 were performed to quantify the magnetic exchange interaction energies and anisotropy. The observed inelastic excitations are indicative of dominant in-plane correlations with negligible magnetic interactions between the layers. A spin-gap of 3.9 meV is observed allowing a measure of the magnetic anisotropy. As the excitations disperse to their maximum energy (~65 meV) they become highly damped, reflective of both the magnetic site occupancy reduction of 25{\%} on one Fe sublattice and the itinerant interactions. A minimal model is employed to describe the excitation spectra and extract nearest neighbor magnetic exchange interaction values. The temperature evolution of the excitations are probed and correlations shown to persist above Tc, indicative of low dimensional magnetism.

Extreme environments

description: Remote, extreme settlements often depend on an equally extreme dedication of resources and planning to achieve their goals, whether geopolitical, scientific, extractive or otherwise. This thesis uncovered pitfalls of these settlements, adding to the existing literature through a critical analysis of McMurdo Station, Antarctica. McMurdo exists as the logistical hub for the U.S. Antarctic Program, supporting the science activities on the continent. The remoteness and severity of the environment, combined with the numerous, well-documented failures of planning, have resulted in an operationally inefficient and substantially improvable station. This study adopts a mixed methods approach unique among planning methodologies, incorporating interviews of involved planners, scientists, and analysts, available planning documents and literature, and a Building Information Model (BIM) to qualitatively and empirically analyze the station planning and resulting design. This study found that remote, extreme settlements must critically balance their budgets, personnel, and resources in order to engender effective, contextual, local planning practices necessary to respond to the needs of the settlement. In the case of McMurdo, competing budget elements took priority over sustained planning efforts, capital investment and maintenance of the station, all of which contributed to a substantial breakdown between planning and station development. Additionally, the resulting cascade of planning failures evident at McMurdo suggests extreme settlements are a form of urbanism subject to the same planning needs and failures of more standard subjects of urban planning.

description: This thesis uses a case study approach to evaluate the COVID-19 related sociodemographic factors and stressors that impact households with a pediatric hematology oncology patient and analyzes how the urban environment and built environment interact with and exacerbates these factors and stressors. Discussion focuses on ways New York City can leverage existing programs to maximize reach to cover medically or otherwise vulnerable households, as well as offer longer-term policy solutions to increase the resilience of New York and New Yorkers. This thesis concludes that urban planning tools can meaningfully address a public health crisis and makes the case that it is more important than ever to study, work, and develop interventions across disciplines to advance common goals.

description: Abstract

This study explores the impact of sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) practices on employee satisfaction within power distribution companies, using an empirical case study approach. Sustainable HRM practices, including initiatives for employee well-being, work-life balance, and environmentally conscious work environments, are increasingly important for enhancing organizational performance and employee morale. By examining a selected power distribution company in India, this research analyzes data collected through surveys and interviews with employees and HR personnel to assess the relationship between sustainability-oriented HRM and employee satisfaction. Quantitative analysis reveals that sustainable HRM practices significantly improve job satisfaction, fostering increased motivation, loyalty, and a positive workplace culture. Furthermore, the findings underscore the importance of aligning HRM strategies with sustainability goals to promote long-term employee retention and productivity. The study provides insights into how power distribution companies can incorporate sustainable HRM practices to not only meet environmental and social objectives but also improve employee outcomes. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable HRM, offering practical recommendations for HR professionals and management in the energy sector seeking to enhance employee satisfaction through sustainability-focused initiatives.

description: Time reversal symmetry is studied in a space with noncommutativity of coordinates and noncommutativity of momenta of canonical type. The circular motion is examined as an apparent example of time reversal symmetry breaking in the space. On the basis of exact solution of the problem we show that because of noncommutativity the period of the circular motion depends on its direction. We propose the way to recover the time reversal and rotational symmetries in noncommutative phase space of canonical type. Namely, on the basis of idea of generalization of parameters of noncommutativity to tensors we construct noncommutative algebra which is rotationally-invariant, invariant under time reversal, besides it is equivalent to noncommutative algebra of canonical type.

Phascolarctomorphia

description: Phascolarctomorphia Aplin and Archer, 1987   CONTENTS: † Litokoala, † Nimiokoala, and Phascolarctos (fig. 44).
STEM AGE: 32.4 Mya (95% HPD: 29.1–36.4 Mya).
CROWN AGE: 25.3 Mya (95% HPD: 19.6–30.3 Mya).
UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Extracranial course of mandibular nerve traverses a bony canal in the roof of the hypotympanic sinus (char. 52: 1→2; ci = 0.231); postgenoid vein emerges from the postglenoid foramen in the posteromedial corner of the glenoid fossa, medial or anteromedial to the postglenoid process (char. 77: 0→1; ci = 0.250); and additional cuspid labial to m1 protoconid present, forming a cusplike protostylid (char. 165: 0→1; ci = 0.286).
COMMENTS: Phascolarctidae is consistently recovered in our molecular, morphological and total-evidence analyses (figs. 27–33) as sister to the remaining vombatiforms, which collectively comprise Vombatomorphia (note that we consider † Thylacoleonidae to be Diprotodontia incertae sedis and not a member of Vombatiformes; see above). Aplin and Archer (1987) placed Phascolarctidae in its own infraorder, Phascolarctomorphia (coordinate to Vombatomorphia), and it remains the only known phascolarctomorphian family; thus, the craniodental synapomorphies of Phascolarctidae apply equally to Phascolarctomorphia.
 Known phascolarctids are craniodentally distinctive (Sonntag, 1922; Archer, 1984a, 1984c; Aplin, 1987, 1990; Lee and Carrick, 1989; Springer and Woodburne, 1989; Black and Archer, 1997b; Louys et al., 2009; Black et al., 2014a), and monophyly of this clade is supported by three unambiguous craniodental synapomorphies in our analysis, although all show some degree of homoplasy. Perhaps the most striking of these is the extracranial course of the mandibular nerve, which traverses a bony canal in the roof of the hypotympanic sinus in all three of our phascolarctid terminals († Litokoala, † Nimiokoala and Phascolarctos; Aplin, 1987; 1990; Louys et al., 2009), a feature that (as far as we are aware) occurs in no other metatherians. 34
 In contrast to Black et al. (2012a), we found † Nimiokoala, rather than † Litokoala, to be more closely related to Phascolarctos, with the † Nimiokoala + Phascolarctos clade supported by a single unambiguous synapomorphy (see file S 3 in the online supplement): maxillary and frontal bones in contact on medial orbital wall (char. 13 0→1; ci = 0.143). Like other vombatiform families, the oldest record of Phascolarctidae is from late Oligocene sites in Australia (Archer et al., 1999; Long et al., 2002; Archer and Hand, 2006; Black et al., 2012b, 2014b).

description: Based on a simple site-independent approach, we attempt to reproduce the solar $r$-process abundance with four nuclear mass models, and investigate the impact of the nuclear mass uncertainties on the $r$ process. In this paper, we first analyze the reliability of an adopted empirical formula for $β$-decay half-lives which is a key ingredient for the $r$ process. Then we apply four different mass tables to study the $r$-process nucleosynthesis together with the calculated $β$-decay half-lives, and the existing $β$-decay data from FRDM+QRPA is also considered for comparison. The numerical results show that the main features of the solar $r$-process pattern and the locations of the abundance peaks can be reproduced well via the $r$-process simulations. Moreover, we also find that the mass uncertainties can significantly affect the derived astrophysical conditions for the $r$-process site, and resulting in a remarkable impact on the $r$ process.

description: The recent confirmation that at least some gamma-ray bursters (GRBs) are indeed at cosmological distances raises the possibility that observations of these could provide interesting constraints on the fundamental laws of physics. Here we demonstrate that the fine-scale time structure and hard spectra of GRB emissions are very sensitive to the possible dispersion of electromagnetic waves in vacuo with velocity differences $δv \sim E/E_{\QG}$, as suggested in some approaches to quantum gravity. A simple estimate shows that GRB measurements might be sensitive to a dispersion scale $E_{QG}$ comparable to the Planck energy scale $E_{P} \sim 10^{19}$ GeV, sufficient to test some of these theories, and we outline aspects of an observational programme that could address this goal.

Sustainability

description: The urban system has been a subject of much attention and inquiry, more so in the past two or so decades. The design of urban systems and juxtaposition of humans with nature has been scrutinized and critically examined by several means and modes. To replicate the natural systems’ balance post human intervention on thus is what societies have strived for, for a long time now (Redman, 2010). The emergence of sustainability in the realm of urban living and more recently the attention imparted to the long known concept of resilient living have been a corollary of this quest. The trend in sustainable development and resilient systems planning of devising frameworks and drawing indicators to help define these vast concepts and help make their manifestation and measurement more tangible is evolving and developing more and more in academic circles and planning disciplines alike (see Alberti, 2012; Arup, 2015). However, the lack of a definite norm and basic sustainability and resilience requirements worldwide has made it more and more difficult for built and planning manifestations to respond directly to these broad-ended goals. It is hypothesized thus that a required innovative framework that incorporates the concepts of sustainability, resilience, a balanced ecological living and an efficient urban system be coined so that these concepts are reflected in manifestations of urban living and not lost in translation. An analysis of existing indicators and frameworks created by both academics and practitioners that currently define sustainability and resilience in urban development are used in identifying gaps in the current methodology adopted by cities in planning for sustainable-resilient living. A new framework and approach is attempted by incorporating the missing links. It is expected that this integrative framework - measuring and defining a resilient, sustainable and more responsible urban systems living - is a paradigmatic shift in the way planning policies are ideated and manifested in cities.

description: The development conflict between the social justice and environmental vertices of the planner’s triangle is inadequately addressed within existing literature and practice. To actualize sustainable development planning, I use a black feminist lens to re-frame analysis of the never-ending cycle of resolving conflicts at the intersection of economic, environmental and equity needs. The purpose of this dissertation study is to describe three cases of delayed decentralization planning, the post-disaster aid context, and energy justice cases for planning and policy implications. The methods for data collection include: semi-structured interviews, statistical analysis, archival research and participant-observation. The conclusions are the urbanism regulatory framework continues to be used to delay decentralization planning, post-disaster sustainability planning is limited by both natural and human disaster factors, and energy access needs to be reframed as a human right instead of a commodity.

description: We propose and evaluate the heterostructure based on the graphene-layer (GL) with the lateral electron injection from the side contacts and the hole vertical injection via the black phosphorus layer (PL) (p$^+$PL-PL-GL heterostructure). Due to a relatively small energy of the holes injected from the PL into the GL (about 100 meV, smaller than the energy of optical phonons in the GL which is about 200 meV), the hole injection can effectively cool down the two-dimensional electron-hole plasma in the GL. This simplifies the realization of the interband population inversion and the achievement of the negative dynamic conductivity in the terahertz (THz) frequency range enabling the amplification of the surface plasmon modes. The later can lead to the plasmon lasing. The conversion of the plasmons into the output radiation can be used for a new types of the THz sources.

description: The 3-level leapfrog time integration algorithm is an attractive choice for numerical relativity simulations since it is time-symmetric and avoids non-physical damping. In Newtonian problems without velocity dependent forces, this method enjoys the advantage of long term stability. However, for more general differential equations, whether ordinary or partial, delayed onset numerical instabilities can arise and destroy the solution. A known cure for such instabilities appears to have been overlooked in many application areas. We give an improved cure ("deloused leapfrog") that both reduces memory demands (important for 3+1 dimensional wave equations) and allows for the use of adaptive timesteps without a loss in accuracy. We show both that the instability arises and that the cure we propose works in highly relativistic problems such as tightly bound geodesics, spatially homogeneous spacetimes, and strong gravitational waves. In the gravitational wave test case (polarized waves in a Gowdy spacetime) the deloused leapfrog method was five to eight times less CPU costly at various accuracies than the implicit Crank-Nicholson method, which is not subject to this instability.

description: Vombatidae Burnett, 1830   CONTENTS: Lasiorhinus, Vombatus (fig. 45), and † Warendja.
STEM AGE: 22.3 Mya (95% HPD: 17.0–27.9 Mya).
CROWN AGE: 11.4 Mya (95% HPD: 3.7–19.1 Mya).
UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Masseteric process absent (char. 6: 1→0; ci = 0.125); hypotympanic sinus floor formed by squmosal only (char. 56: 0→1; ci = 0.667); postglenoid process of squamosal absent (char. 75: 0→1; ci = 0.200); P3 open-rooted (char. 123: 1→3; ci = 0.385); and molars with open roots, the crowns growing throughout adulthood (char. 128: 0→1; ci = 1.000).
 COMMENTS: All our morphological, molecular, and total-evidence analyses recover monophyly of Vombatidae (figs. 27–33). We have included only hypselodont vombatids among our terminals, and hence the presence of open-rooted P3 and open-rooted molars optimize as unambiguous synapomorphies for the family; however, putative vombatids with rooted P3 and rooted molars are known (Stirton et al., 1967b; Murray, 1998; Brewer, 2008; Brewer et al., 2008, 2015, 2018), so the inclusion of such plesiomorphic taxa in future analyses may erode dental character support for the family. The other two unambiguous craniodental synapomorphies identified here are in the glenoid region (namely absence of a masseteric process and absence of a postglenoid process of the squamosal) and are presumably correlated with the unusual masticatory pattern of hypselodont vombatids, in which jaw movement during the power stroke of mastication is primarily or exclusively transverse (Ferreira et al., 1989; Murray, 1998; Crompton et al., 2008; Brewer et al., 2015). The oldest vombatids known from dental material (the early Miocene † Nimbavombatus and † Rhizophascolonus; Stirton et al., 1967b; Murray, 1998; Brewer et al., 2008, 2015, 2018) are not hypselodont, and they appear to have had an orthal component to their power stroke; however, the morphology of the glenoid region of these taxa, which might be expected to be less specialized than those of hypselodont vombatids, is currently unknown.
 Our estimate for the divergence between † Warendja and extant vombatids (Vombatus and Lasiorhinus) is poorly constrained, with the 95% HPD extending into the Pliocene; this raises the possibility that the late Miocene † Warendja encorensis may not belong to this genus (see Brewer et al., 2007, 2018: fig. 19).

description: The statistical objects characterizing turbulence in real turbulent flows differ from those of the ideal homogeneous isotropic model.They containcontributions from various 2d and 3d aspects, and from the superposition ofinhomogeneous and anisotropic contributions. We employ the recently introduceddecomposition of statistical tensor objects into irreducible representations of theSO(3) symmetry group (characterized by $j$ and $m$ indices), to disentangle someof these contributions, separating the universal and the asymptotic from the specific aspects of the flow. The different $j$ contributions transform differently under rotations and so form a complete basis in which to represent the tensor objects under study. The experimental data arerecorded with hot-wire probes placed at various heights in the atmospheric surfacelayer. Time series data from single probes and from pairs of probes are analyzed to compute the amplitudes and exponents of different contributions to the second order statistical objects characterized by $j=0$, $j=1$ and $j=2$. The analysis shows the need to make a careful distinction between long-lived quasi 2d turbulent motions (close to the ground) and relatively short-lived 3d motions. We demonstrate that the leading scaling exponents in the three leading sectors ($j = 0, 1, 2$) appear to be different butuniversal, independent of the positions of the probe, and the large scaleproperties. The measured values of the exponent are $ζ^{(j=0)}_2=0.68 \pm 0.01$, $ζ^{(j=1)}_2=1.0\pm 0.15$ and $ζ^{(j=2)}_2=1.38 \pm 0.10$. We present theoretical arguments for the values of these exponents usingthe Clebsch representation of the Euler equations; neglecting anomalous corrections, the values obtained are 2/3, 1 and 4/3 respectively.

description: This research investigated if diagrams aid in deductive reasoning with formal causal models. Four studies were conducted exploring participants' ability to discover causal paths, identify causes and effects, and create alternative explanations for variable relationships. In Study 1, abstract variables of the causal model were compared to contextually grounded variables and causal models presented as text or diagrams were compared. Participants given abstract diagrams did better in most tasks than participants in the other conditions, who all did similarly. Studies 2 and 3 compared causal models expressed in text to diagrammed causal models, and compared models using arrows to models using words when connecting variables. Participants who had arrowheads replaced with words made more errors than participants in other diagram conditions. Diagrammed causal models led to better performance than did other conditions, and there was no difference between different text models. Studies 4 and 5 tested the hypothesis that predictive reasoning (from cause to effect) is easier than diagnostic reasoning (from effect to cause). The two studies did not find any such effect

description: Generalized symmetric Woods-Saxon potential (GSWSP) energy well has a significant importance not only in nuclear physics but also in atomic and molecular physics. A GSWSP energy well takes the surface effects (describing e.g. repulsive interaction at the nucleus edge in nuclear physics) into account in addition to the volume effect. These effects can be, in general, both repulsive or attractive. In this paper, the recently obtained bound state solution of the Klein-Gordon equation with vector and scalar GSWSP energy in the spin symmetry limit is used to calculate a neutral pion's energy spectra in attractive and repulsive cases via various potential parameters. Then, the spectra are employed to find the thermodynamic functions such as Helmholtz free energy, entropy, internal energy, and specific heat. These functions in the attractive and repulsive cases are compared comprehensively. Finally, the role of the shape parameters on the thermodynamic functions in repulsive and attractive cases, respectively, is analyzed.

description: The phenomenon of subpulse drifting offers unique insights into the emission geometry of pulsars, and is commonly interpreted in terms of a rotating carousel of "spark" events near the stellar surface. We develop a detailed geometric model for the emission columns above a carousel of sparks that is entirely calculated in the observer's inertial frame, and which is consistent with the well-understood rotational effects of aberration and retardation. We explore the observational consequences of the model, including (1) the appearance of the reconstructed beam pattern via the cartographic transform and (2) the morphology of drift bands and how they might evolve as a function of frequency. The model, which is implemented in the software package PSRGEOM, is applicable to a wide range of viewing geometries, and we illustrate its implications using PSRs B0809+74 and B2034+19 as examples. Some specific predictions are made with respect to the difference between subpulse evolution and microstructure evolution, which provides a way to further test our model.

description: Given the spline representation of the boundary of a three dimensional domain, constructing a volumetric spline parameterization of the domain (i.e., a map from a unit cube to the domain) with the given boundary is a fundamental problem in isogeometric analysis. A good domain parameterization should satisfy the following criteria: (1) the parameterization is a bijective map; and (2) the map has lowest possible distortion. However, none of the state-of-the-art volumetric parameterization methods has fully addressed the above issues. In this paper, we propose a three-stage approach for constructing volumetric parameterization satisfying the above criteria. Firstly, a harmonic map is computed between a unit cube and the computational domain. Then a bijective map modeled by a max-min optimization problem is computed in a coarse-to-fine way, and an algorithm based on divide and conquer strategy is proposed to solve the optimization problem efficiently. Finally, to ensure high quality of the parameterization, the MIPS (Most Isometric Parameterizations) method is adopted to reduce the conformal distortion of the bijective map. We provide several examples to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and to compare our approach with some state-of-the-art methods. The results show that our algorithm produces bijective parameterization with high quality even for complex domains.
