title: Improving Accuracy of the Edgebox Approach
Creators: name: Yadav, Kamna
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Object region detection plays a vital role in many domains ranging from self-driving cars to lane detection, which heavily involves the task of object detection. Improving the performance of object region detection approaches is of great importance and therefore is an active ongoing research in Computer Vision. Traditional sliding window paradigm has been widely used to identify hundreds of thousands of windows (covering different scales, angles, and aspect ratios for objects) before the classification step. However, it is not only computationally expensive but also produces relatively low accuracy in terms of the classifier output by providing many negative samples. Object detection proposals, as discussed in detail in [19, 20], tackle these issues by filtering the windows using different features in the image before passing them to the classifier. This filtering process helps to control the quality as well as the quantity of the windows. EdgeBox is one of the most effective proposal detection approaches that focuses on the presence of dense edges in an image to identify quality proposal windows.
This thesis proposes an innovative approach that improves the accuracy of the EdgeBox approach. The improved approach uses both the color properties and the corner information from an image along with the edge information to evaluate the candidate windows. We also describe two variations of the proposed approach. Our extensive experimental results on the Visual Object Classification (VOC) [29,30] dataset clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach together with its two variances to improve the accuracy of the EdgeBox approach.

description: We measure Anderson localization in quasi-one-dimensional waveguides in the presence of absorption by analyzing the echo dynamics due to small perturbations. We specifically show that the inverse participation number of localized modes dictates the decay of the Loschmidt echo, differing from the Gaussian decay expected for diffusive or chaotic systems. Our theory, based on a random matrix modeling, agrees perfectly with scattering echo measurements on a quasi one-dimensional microwave cavity filled with randomly distributed scatterers.

description: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic problem in pregnancy, and can affect up to 25% of women during the pregnancy cycle (Choudhury, Rajeswari, 2021) GDM is associated with a high risk of fetal, neonatal and possibly fetal complications. long-term development. Lack of maternal glycemic control can trigger macrosomia, prematurity, metabolic disorders, respiratory, cardiac and/or neurological complications in the fetus. As a result, macrosomia can make a normal birth difficult and dangerous, with the baby more prone to fractures and brachial plexus injuries. (Pedrini, Cunha, Breigeiron, 2020). Objective: To map recent scientific evidence about the most common fetal and neonatal complications of Gestational Diabetes. This is a scoping review, which will be based on the methodological framework established by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for scoping reviews (JBI).

description: La tesi di Dottorato espone i risultati dell’analisi condotta su alcune tipologie di canto
profano a due parti, osservate nella tradizione orale di specifiche aree rurali: le espressioni
diafoniche oggetto di indagine sono state individuate in diverse regioni, prevalentemente
nell’Italia centro-meridionale e in Sicilia, con alcune propaggini nell’Italia nord-orientale e in
alcune aree europee abitate da minoranze italiane (Istria slovena e croata).
I documenti analizzati sono stati reperiti grazie alla ricerca sul campo e rintracciati
anche nelle pubblicazioni discografiche, nei cataloghi dei più importanti archivi pubblici e
privati italiani.
Sono stati definiti i caratteri formali dei repertori e l’indagine realizzata ha inoltre
condotto a una mappatura attestante la presenza di repertori vocali simili in diverse sub-aree
della Penisola, confermando la estesa diffusione di pratiche diafoniche tradizionali in Italia.
Sulla base di analogie e ricorrenze è stato rilevato che le espressioni diafoniche
italiane possono essere attribuite a una remota tradizione comune: sebbene le peculiarità
relative a ciascun repertorio siano in molti casi abbastanza marcate, le connotazioni strutturali
e i modi performativi che distinguono tali repertori pare vogliano indicare di essere di fronte a
testimonianze di una tradizione musicale arcaica, in cui è possibile individuare procedure e
attitudini diafoniche simili e condivise.
L’ultima parte dell’indagine espone alcune riflessioni emerse dal confronto tra le
forme diafoniche analizzate e repertori polifonici conservati nella tradizione scritta,
prendendo come punto di partenza gli studi di Nino Pirrotta: ne emergono considerazioni per
l’individuazione e l’analisi di possibili comuni occorrenze all’interno di pratiche performative
localmente convergenti, pur se subordinate a modi di trasmissione diversi (tradizione scritta e
non scritta della musica).

description: In order to tune the magnetic properties of the cleavable high-Curie temperature ferromagnet Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_2$, the effect of increasing the electron count through arsenic substitution has been investigated. Small additions of arsenic (2.5 and 5%) seemingly enhance ferromagnetic order in polycrystalline samples by quenching fluctuations on one of the three magnetic sublattices, whereas larger As concentrations decrease the ferromagnetic Curie temperature ($T_{\rm C}$) and saturation magnetization. This work also describes the growth and characterization of Fe$_{4.8}$AsTe$_2$ single crystals that are structurally analogous to Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_2$ but with some phase stability complications. Magnetization measurements reveal dominant antiferromagnetic behavior in Fe$_{4.8}$AsTe$_2$ with a Néel temperature of $T_{\rm N}$ $\approx$42K. A field-induced spin-flop below $T_{\rm N}$ results in a switch from negative to positive magnetoresistance, with significant hysteresis causing butterfly-shaped resistance loops. In addition to reporting the properties of Fe$_{4.8}$AsTe$_2$, this work shows the importance of manipulating the individual magnetic sublattices in Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_2$ and motivates further efforts to control the magnetic properties in related materials by fine tuning of the Fermi energy or crystal chemistry.

Fluctuations in the turnover of single-family dwellings in metropolitan Vancouver
Creators: name: Seek, Ngee-Huat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The turnover rate for housing measures the average length of tenure between transactions, and, thus, indicates the level of activity, in the housing market. However, turnover of housing has hitherto been neglected by urban economists. This thesis attempts to study the fluctuations in the turnover in ownership of single-family houses in Metropolitan Vancouver over the period 1949-1963. It is hoped that such a study will serve to close a gap in housing research by presenting relevant theory and data on this aspect of turnover. Such turnover information will be useful to the policy makers as well as the homebuyers, the mortgage lenders and the real estate profession. The initial stage of this study involved the collection of relevant raw data and the computation of turnover rates. The results of this research activity are presented in the first part of the thesis. The second part is concerned with the formulation of a theoretical base on which a model to explain fluctuations in turnover is developed. In the third section of this thesis, this model is tested quantitatively using the technique of multiple regression on time-series data for both overall (new and existing houses) turnover and turnover of existing houses only. In the final section, the variables used in the regression analysis are re-examined qualitatively with the aid of graphical illustrations. This section concludes with a discussion of seasonal variation of turnover. The study shows that, during the period 1949-1963 turnover rates fluctuated cyclically, and that there was a definite downward trend after 1958. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses indicate' that this phenomenon is primarily the result of a combination of the following factors: changes in credit conditions, business cycles, change in the number of family heads, the relative cost of owning versus renting a home, and the rate at which new houses were completed. A further finding of this thesis is that the volume of sales of single-family houses was subject to significant and consistent seasonal fluctuation.

description: We propose a novel inflationary scenario in string theory in which the inflaton field is a 'Wilson line' degree of freedom in the worldvolume of a probe Dp-brane, in a warped flux compactification. Kinetic terms for Wilson line fields on the world volume of a D-brane take a nonstandard Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) form. Thus, we work in the framework of DBI inflation. This extends the original slow roll Wilson line inflationary scenario, where only the quadratic piece was considered. Warped DBI Wilson line inflation offers an attractive alternative to ordinary (position field) DBI inflation, inasmuch as observational and theoretical constraints get considerably relaxed. Besides the standard large non-Gaussianities in DBI scenarios, it is also possible to achieve an observable amount of gravitational waves.

description: Abstract

The need to empower weak and vulnerable social groups, such as women, to eradicate poverty is now considered essential for community development. This is evident by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations (UN) member states in 2015, popularly known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (UN, 2015). The SDGs are seventeen (17) global goals serving as urgent calls to action for all countries. The goals recognize the need for empowering women and all its ramifications (Goal No. 5). Involving in different income generating activities may have an influence on empowerment among women and in reduction of poverty.  The purpose of this study is to synthesize the evidence from the last decade in order to improve our understanding of women empowerment. Women empowerment is a critical issue in today's world, as it aims to increase women's economical, psychological, social and political power. This study makes significant contributions. First, a literature review overview of the concept of women's empowerment, its historical evolution, and its importance in achieving sustainable development goals. The review highlights the various factors that hinder women's empowerment and identifies successful strategies for empowering women. Finally, the review concludes with recommendations for policymakers, civil society organizations, and researchers to advance the cause of women empowerment.
title: Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Native Utah Berries and Their Potential for Use in Meats
Creators: name: Wang, Xiaoxi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: In industry, antioxidants are added to prevent changes that affect quality due to oxidation, such as the development of off flavors, unacceptable odors and discoloration. New resources that are familiar to consumers and may work as antioxidants should be studied.
The changes in antioxidant activity were determined for four freeze-dried native wild berry powder species in Utah, including skunkbush (Rhus trilobata), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), river hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii) and silver buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentea), during cold storage (-20 °C) for 6 months. The total antioxidant activity was stable in most of the berry powders during the six months of frozen storage. Overall the river hawthorn and buffaloberry contained the highest antioxidant activity values, which indicated that they would be more efficient for use as food antioxidants.
The effectiveness of two different levels of native Utah river hawthorn and buffaloberry freeze-dried powders in maintaining the quality of ground poultry and ground beef was studied. Meat patties mixed with berry powders were held at 4 °C and analyzed every three days for two weeks. The river hawthorn berry and silver buffaloberry delayed the undesirable changes in flavor or color caused by the oxygen present in the air in both chicken and beef ground patties. However, the plant pigments in the silver buffaloberry increased the redness of chicken patties. Neither berry significantly changed the color of ground beef patties or changed the microbial growth in ground meats. Overall, both river hawthorn and buffaloberry are suitable for using in ground beef product as antioxidants.
Milk mineral and sodium tripolyphosphate are antioxidants that could bind free metal ions into insoluble or inactive forms. They can delay the changes of the meat pigment and maintain color in meat products. The purpose of the third study was to examine the effect antioxidants on meat pigment.pH describes the amounts of acid in food. Slowed color changes in the poultry meat pigment with antioxidants was seen both at the pH of living poultry muscle (7.2) and the pH of raw poultry meat (pH 6.0). This suggested that addition of metal-binding antioxidants like milk mineral or sodium tripolyphosphate could help preserve poultry meat pigment and maintain the color of poultry products.

description: Abstract

Ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow is crucial for the efficient design and deployment of content delivery networks. The growing need for internet bandwidth in suburban areas has pushed service providers to upgrade their networks in order to meet the increasing demands. Nevertheless, it is essential to consider the importance of resource optimization in terms of reducing costs. An alternative plan must be devised by the service provider to effectively manage unpredictable fluctuations in demand. Enhancing the efficiency of computational resources enables network operators to adjust resource quantities in response to fluctuating traffic demands. Datacenters are interconnected using optical networking technologies. Our research focuses on developing a load distribution architecture that optimizes network utilization by minimizing redundancy. To optimize the utilization of these resources, it is crucial to strategically arrange the placement of SMF in OXCs. This will enable the establishment of a network of optical paths that effectively connect the data centers catering to users. Using SFPs of higher order will result in higher initial installation costs. However, the cost of upgrading the switches to meet the growing demand can be fairly substantial. Various devices can be used to establish network connectivity and facilitate the exchange of data. Afterwards, the proposed work is validated to assess its optimization and efficiency through the application of the Porter 5 force model. The results indicate that the proposed method of implementing higher order SFP is an effective approach for addressing the growing need for increased bandwidth.

description: We studied power splitting-based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) in multiple access channels (MAC), considering the decoding cost and non-linear energy harvesting (EH) constraints at the receiving nodes to study practical limitations of an EH communication system. Under these restrictions, we formulated and analyzed the achievable rate and maximum departure regions in two well-studied scenarios, i.e., a classical PS-SWIPT MAC and a PS-SWIPT MAC with user cooperation. In the classical PS-SWIPT MAC setting, closed-form expressions for the optimal values of the PS factors are derived for two fundamental decoding schemes: simultaneous decoding and successive interference cancellation. In the PS-SWIPT MAC with user cooperation, the joint optimal power allocation for users as well as the optimal PS factor are derived. This reveals that one decoding scheme outperforms the other in the classical PS-SWIPT MAC, depending on the function type of the decoding cost. Finally, it is shown that the cooperation between users can potentially boost the performance of a PS-SWIPT MAC under decoding cost and non-linear EH constraints. Moreover, effects of the decoding cost functions, non-linear EH model and channel quality between the users are studied, and performance characteristics of the system are discussed.

description: We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to identify the key physical parameters and mechanisms at the origin of the observed variety in the Local Group dSph properties. The initial total mass (gas + dark matter) of these galaxies is the main driver of their evolution. Star formation (SF) occurs in series of short bursts. In massive systems, the very short intervals between the SF peaks mimic a continuous star formation rate, while less massive systems exhibit well separated SF bursts, as identified observationally. The delay between the SF events is controlled by the gas cooling time dependence on galaxy mass. The observed global scaling relations, luminosity-mass and luminosity-metallicity, are reproduced with low scatter. We take advantage of the unprecedentedly large sample size and data homogeneity of the ESO Large Programme DART, and add to it a few independent studies, to constrain the star formation history of five Milky Way dSphs, Sextans, LeoII, Carina, Sculptor and Fornax. For the first time, [Mg/Fe] vs [Fe/H] diagrams derived from high-resolution spectroscopy of hundreds of individual stars are confronted with model predictions. We find that the diversity in dSph properties may well result from intrinsic evolution. We note, however, that the presence of gas in the final state of our simulations, of the order of what is observed in dwarf irregulars, calls for removal by external processes.

description: Abstract

Enrekang Regency is one of the largest producers of horticultural crops, especially salak fruit farming in South Sulawesi. It is also expected to increase the income of salak fruit farming which is one of the horticultural crops being developed, especially in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The development of a good production and distribution channel system is one of the keys to success in increasing the income of salak fruit farmers, especially in Enrekang Regency. This research is a survey research, the sample in this study used purposive random sampling in three villages namely Kambiolangi Village, Mata Allo Village, and Sumilang Village in Alla District. The analysis tool used the method of relative advantage analysis (Benefit Cost Ratio Analysis) and margin analysis. Thus it can be said that the use of marketing mix strategy can provide added value to the income of salak fruit farmers. Margin analysis and marketing efficiency show that marketing activities of salak fruit in Alla District, Enrekang Regency through three marketing channels provide different results. Marketing efficiency will be created when using short marketing channels.
title: Interest Groups and Supreme Court Commerce Clause Regulation, 1920-1937
Creators: name: Anderson, Barrett L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Did interest groups influence the Supreme Court’s interpretation of federal economic regulatory authority under the Commerce Clause leading up to the Supreme Court’s 1937 reversal? Recent scholarship has begun a renewed study of this tumultuous era seeking alternative explanations for the Court’s behavior beyond the conventional explanations concerning Roosevelt’s court packing plan. I build on this literature by extending the discussion to the influence that interest groups may have had on the Court. I propose that interest groups served as a supporting and influential audience for the Supreme Court as the justices’ institutional legitimacy became threatened by both the political pressure and legal changes that the Court faced during this era.
To test these theoretical assumptions, I compiled a dataset of Supreme Court cases using the U.S. Supreme Court Library Official Reports Database ranging from the beginning of the 1920 Supreme Court term through the end of the 1937 term. Cases were included if 1) the case had one or more filed amicus briefs; and 2) the questions and arguments in the case were based on the Commerce Clause or legislation that relies wholly or in part on the Commerce Clause. Applying a basic logit model, I find support for the assumption that amicus briefs influenced the Court by providing the justices with a supporting audience. To further test the influence of amicus briefs, I compare the arguments and information provided exclusively by amicus briefs in this group of cases to the Supreme Court majority’s opinions to test for similar content. Amicus briefs are considered influential if the Court included information exclusively from an amicus in their majority opinion. I find that in the largest number of cases, amici influenced the Court majority’s opinions in favor of their preferred litigant when they provide unique arguments and information. Consequently, I find moderate support for the influence of interest groups on the Court both externally by providing a supporting audience and internally by providing the Court with supporting information.

description: When an electron is confined to a triangular atomic thick layer of graphene [1-5] with zig-zag edges, its energy spectrum collapses to a shell of degenerate states at the Fermi level (Dirac point) [6-9]. The degeneracy is proportional to the edge size and can be made macroscopic. This opens up the possibility to design a strongly correlated electronic system as a function of fractional filling of the zero-energy shell, in analogy to the fractional quantum Hall effect in a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas[10], but without the need for a high magnetic field. In this work we show that electronic correlations, beyond the Hubbard model[6,7] and mean-field density functional theory (DFT) [7,8] play a crucial role in determining the nature of the ground state and the excitation spectrum of triangular graphene quantum dots as a function of dot size and filling fraction of the shell of zero-energy states. The interactions are treated by a combination of DFT, tight-binding, Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction methods (TB-HF-CI) and include all scattering and exchange terms within second nearest neighbors as well as interaction with metallic gate. We show that a half filled charge neutral shell leads to full spin polarization of the island but this magnetic moment is completely destroyed by the addition of a single electron, in analogy to the effect of skyrmions on the quantum Hall ferromagnet [11-14] and spin depolarization in electrostatically defined semiconductor quantum dots[15-18]. The depolarization of the ground state is predicted to result in blocking of current through a graphene quantum dot due to spin blockade (SB) [18].

title: Institutional Adaptation to Water Scarcity in Utah Irrigation Companies
Creators: name: Patty, Grant
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: A review of how water institutions in the American West have changed in response to arid conditions as a means of examining the possibility of further change as an adaptation to climate change induced water scarcity. Two institutions are examined, prior appropriation and shares.
While much of the American West operates under prior appropriation formally, irrigators have found Coasian methods of lowering transaction costs by forming irrigation companies. Irrigation companies own appropriative rights and redefine them, typically as shares. Lower transaction costs allow irrigators to trade more freely within companies, though trades between companies still face high transaction costs.
Using a dataset of Utah’s 1100+ irrigation companies collected from the Utah Division of Water Rights, I measure the extent to which these companies have internalized transaction costs. Because most, if not all, irrigation companies transform appropriative rights into some form of shares, regions facing more water scarcity should be more likely to manage water by using shares rather than appropriative rights. I test the hypothesis that an increase in water scarcity makes trade more valuable and thereby increases the relative opportunity costs of managing a river through appropriative rights versus shares.

description: We report variational and diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo ground-state energies of the three-dimensional electron gas using a model periodic Coulomb interaction and backflow corrections for N=54, 102, 178, and 226 electrons. We remove finite-size effects by extrapolation and we find lower energies than previously reported. Using the Hellman-Feynman operator sampling method introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 126406 (2007), we compute accurately, within the fixed-node pproximation, the separate kinetic and interaction contributions to the total ground-state energy. The difference between the interaction energies obtained from the original Slater-determinant nodes and the backflow-displaced nodes is found to be considerably larger than the difference between the corresponding kinetic energies.

description: Abstract

We examined gender and occupational choice in the Nigeria labour market using cross sectional data. The study focused only on people who are in the labour market which consists of those that are already working and those seriously searching for jobs. Data on labour market and individual characteristics was used to estimate multinomial logit model of occupational choice. The dataset used for the analysis is a national survey 2022. The key variable of interest is gender. Within the multinomial logit model framework, we focused the estimation on gender influence on occupational choice using different classification of occupation like employer; self -employed farmer; self -employed trader; Self- employed; employee wages etc. The variables at the right hand side of the multinomial logit model were gender; age of the individual; marital status; rural/urban, etc. The results show that females are less likely than males to prefer a choice of employment in the public sector. Second, females are less likely than males to prefer a choice of employment as self- employed farmer to choice of wage employment in the public sector among others.
The ELIXIR interoperability platform: working towards FAIRer science

Year: 2023

description: The ELIXIR Interoperability Platform was established to tackle the challenge of making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
 Its goal is to help people and machines to discover, access, integrate and analyse biological data. It encourages the life science community to adopt standardised file formats, metadata, vocabularies, identifiers, and interoperability best practices.
 To achieve its goals, the EIP works in partnership with stakeholders, both within and outside ELIXIR, ranging from individual data providers and interoperability service developers to international standardisation initiatives and communities.
 By engaging with the ELIXIR Communities, the Platform is building a portfolio of Interoperability Stories to better understand and serve the needs of these Communities, and to demonstrate the impact of Interoperability resources.
 The Platform has delivered a framework of fit-for-purpose FAIR-enabling resources, including a portfolio of Recommended Interoperability Resources which are selected via formal process including peer review.
 In addition, the Platform is establishing a KnowledgeHub as a systematic approach to collect and disseminate knowledge for managing life science data. This will include components such as RDMkit and the FAIR Cookbook, and is an area where the Platform will foster collaboration with the emerging Research Data Management Community.
 Looking ahead to the new ELIXIR Programme 2024 - 2028, the Interoperability Platform plans to grow its FAIR-enabling product portfolio, to standardise processes for data management, and to promote the use of best practices more broadly.

description: Three-body $AAB$ model for the $NN{\bar K}(s_{NN}=0)$ kaonic cluster is considered based on the configuration space Faddeev equations. Within a single-channel approach, the difference between masses of nucleons and kaons and the charge independence breaking of nucleon-nucleon interaction are taken into consideration. We definite the particle configurations in the system according to the particle masses and pair potentials. There are two sets of the particle configurations, $ ppK^-$, $np \bar{K^0}$ and $nn {\bar K}^0$, $npK^-$, charged and neutral. The three-body calculations are performed by applying $NN$ and $N\bar K$ phenomenological isospin-dependent potentials. The mass and energy spectra related to the particle configurations are presented. We evaluate the mass and energy uncertainties for the $NN\bar K$ model. An analogy to $NNN$ model for the $^3$H and $^3$He nuclei is proposed.

description: In this study, I explored how nature writing could be seen as healing text. I described some common problems associated with the construction of trauma and grief narratives and examined how nature writers dealt with them. The study began with my frustration at being unable to write a healing narrative for myself and progressed as I integrated research that informed my own writing.
The literature I read included a variety of perspectives, from Jungian and traditional psychotherapy to current writing theory. I used the theory to comment on the nature writing texts as I discovered them. Using the words and stories of nature writers to fuel my own, I explored how their writing was both personally reflective and socially aware. In particular, I examined the importance of the natural world as a significant "other" for the writers and analyzed how their relationship with nature brought meaning and solace to their grieving.

Origin of the narrow, single peak in the fission-fragment mass distribution for $^{258}$Fm

description: We discuss the origin of the narrowness of the single peak at mass-symmetric division in the fragment mass-yield curve for spontaneous fission of $^{258}$Fm. For this purpose, we employ the macroscopic-microscopic model, and calculate a potential-energy curve at the mass-symmetric compact scission configuration, as a function of the fragment mass number, which is obtained from the single-particle wave-function densities. In the calculations, we minimize total energies by varying the deformations of the two fragments, with constraints on the mass quadrupole moment and keeping the neck radius zero, as a function of mass asymmetry. Using the obtained potential, we solve the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a microscopic coordinate-dependent inertial mass to calculate the fragment mass-yield curve. The calculated mass yield, expressed in terms of the microscopic mass density, is consistent with the extremely narrow experimental mass distribution.

title: A Computer Assisted Program for the Selection of Band Music Relative to the Difficulty Rating of Individual Instruments
Creators: name: Saville, Kirt
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: The purpose of the study was to develop objective grading tools in the areas of key, range, rhythm/meter, tempo, dynamic and intonation control. Each area was considered separately for 17 different instruments of the band. The study included the development of a computer program capable of permitting a band director to objectively analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his/her band, scan all of the compositions which have been entered into its data bank, and then list appropriate matches.
A formative evaluation design was used to develop and refine the evaluation tools. The steps of the formative evaluation design included (a) a predevelopment review, (b) the design of the system, and (c) the development and revision of a series of prototypes including a modified delphi-approach for the establishment of content validity, a pilot study, and a field study.
The study found that the difficulty of band music can be assessed via objective criteria. The results of the pilot and field studies provide evidence that each band composition contains many characteristics which are not uniform across all instruments of the band. The objective analysis of criteria gave evidence of substantial differences between instruments in every category, with the exceptions of Key and Tempo.
The computer system was effective in storing, processing, and comparing the evaluation data generated by the evaluation tools. The computer program also proved successful in locating appropriate matches for ensembles of varying levels of performance proficiency. The ability of the computer program to discriminate in terms of 17 instruments represents a significant improvement in the manner in which band music is currently being selected. The computer-based system gives band directors the ability to locate individual compositions which are ideally suited to the strengths and weaknesses of their individual bands.
Microlensing towards the LMC revisited by adopting a non-Gaussian velocity distribution for the sources

description: We discuss whether the Gaussian is a reasonable approximation of the velocity distribution of stellar systems that are not spherically distributed. By using a non-Gaussian velocity distribution to describe the sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we reinvestigate the expected microlensing parameters of a lens population isotropically distributed either in the Milky Way halo or in the LMC (self lensing). We compare our estimates with the experimental results of the MACHO collaboration. An interesting result that emerges from our analysis is that, moving from the Gaussian to the non-Gaussian case, we do not observe any change in the form of the distribution curves describing the rate of microlensing events for lenses in the Galactic halo. The corresponding expected timescales and number of expected events also do not vary. Conversely, with respect to the self-lensing case, we observe a moderate increase in the rate and number of expected events. We conclude that the error in the estimate of the most likely value for the MACHO mass and the Galactic halo fraction in form of MACHOs, calculated with a Gaussian velocity distribution for the LMC sources, is not higher than 2%.
