Toward a new model of urban planning
Creators: name: Gerecke, John Kent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Urban planning faces a tremendous challenge: changing its role from land use planning to one of responding to "the current and urgent problems of the city". Under such circumstances the entire approach to planning has come under question. Waterston summarizes the current problem in his "three-horned planning dilemma". He asserts there are three approaches to planning, all of which must fail: comprehensive planning which assumes long-range societal goals can be identified, systems planning which attempts to provide structured solutions to unstructured problems, and partial planning which merely fights "brush-fires". This discourse engages in a search for a way around the "three-horned planning dilemma". A dual methodology was used in this study. First inductive research was selected which allowed a search for a new model of planning unconstrained and not misdirected by past planning theory—a confusing literature. With this freedom, the inductive method naturally directed the research from a broad empirical base to generalizations, of a new theory. The second part of the methodology was the use of the case study technique. This search for a new model focused on a seemingly innovative urban planning agency. A case examination of planning in the Greater Vancouver Regional District between 1969 and 1973 provided the data base for the research. The four middle chapters contain the detailed descriptions of planning in the GVRD. The case material provided basic conceptualizations for a distinct model of urban planning as practiced in the GVRD. GVRD planning proved to be absolutely different from current planning practice, and four major characteristics of their planning were identified: 1. Auto-Action which stimulates a wide range of planning actions, 2. Qualitative Analysis combining technique and diverse judgments, 3. Political Dialogue or working out program design, analysis, and solutions with politicians, and 4. General Interaction which involves the public, local and senior governments, and consultants. The inductive process moved the interpretation beyond case material and the GVRD model to a new model of urban planning. Processes and theory of GVRD planning led to a new bundle of planning theory literature primarily the works of Ruth Mack, John Friedmann, and Edgar Dunn. A "Learning Model" of urban planning evolved which had four characteristics: 1. goal development as an essential part of the planning process and goal determination through widespread dialogue, 2. the inherent limitations of Social Knowledge which can be overcome by transactive planning and mutual learning, 3. Bottom-up Planning as the extensive use of local task forces, and 4. Social Change, in the form of new social structures, as offering promise for solutions rather than dealing with symptoms. The Learning Model evolved from one particular case which limits its range as a generic theory. It has, however, provided a link between practice and theory and has complemented a new wave of planning theory.

description: One of the major challenges of machine translation (MT) is ambiguity, which can in some cases be resolved by accompanying context such as images. However, recent work in multimodal MT (MMT) has shown that obtaining improvements from images is challenging, limited not only by the difficulty of building effective cross-modal representations, but also by the lack of specific evaluation and training data. We present a new MMT approach based on a strong text-only MT model, which uses neural adapters, a novel guided self-attention mechanism and which is jointly trained on both visually-conditioned masking and MMT. We also introduce CoMMuTE, a Contrastive Multilingual Multimodal Translation Evaluation set of ambiguous sentences and their possible translations, accompanied by disambiguating images corresponding to each translation. Our approach obtains competitive results compared to strong text-only models on standard English-to-French, English-to-German and English-to-Czech benchmarks and outperforms baselines and state-of-the-art MMT systems by a large margin on our contrastive test set. Our code and CoMMuTE are freely available.

description: Based upon the rate equations for the photon distribution function obtained in the previous paper, we study the formal solutions in three different representation forms for the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. By expanding the formal solution in the operator representation in powers of both the derivative operator and electron velocity, we derive a formal solution that is equivalent to the Fokker-Planck expansion approximation. We extend the present formalism to the kinematical Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The properties of the frequency redistribution functions are studied. We find that the kinematical Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect is described by the redistribution function related to the electron pressure. We also solve the rate equations numerically. We obtain the exact numerical solutions, which include the full-order terms in powers of the optical depth.

description: We report the Fermi-LAT discovery of high-energy (MeV/GeV) gamma-ray emission positionally consistent with the center of the radio galaxy M87, at a source significance of over 10 sigma in ten-months of all-sky survey data. Following the detections of Cen A and Per A, this makes M87 the third radio galaxy seen with the LAT. The faint point-like gamma-ray source has a >100 MeV flux of 2.45 (+/- 0.63) x 10^-8 ph cm^-2 s^-1 (photon index = 2.26 +/- 0.13) with no significant variability detected within the LAT observation. This flux is comparable with the previous EGRET upper limit (< 2.18 x 10^-8 ph cm^-2 s^-1, 2 sigma), thus there is no evidence for a significant MeV/GeV flare on decade timescales. Contemporaneous Chandra and VLBA data indicate low activity in the unresolved X-ray and radio core relative to previous observations, suggesting M87 is in a quiescent overall level over the first year of Fermi-LAT observations. The LAT gamma-ray spectrum is modeled as synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission from the electron population producing the radio-to-X-ray emission in the core. The resultant SSC spectrum extrapolates smoothly from the LAT band to the historical-minimum TeV emission. Alternative models for the core and possible contributions from the kiloparsec-scale jet in M87 are considered, and can not be excluded.

description: We present a calculation of the nucleon sigma term on two-flavor QCD configurations with dynamical overlap fermions. We analyse the lattice data for the nucleon mass using the baryon chiral perturbation theory. Using partially quenched data sets, we extract the connected and disconnected contributions to the nucleon sigma term separately. Chiral symmetry on the lattice simplifies the determination of the disconnected contribution. We find that the strange quark content, which determines the neutralino dark matter reaction rate with nucleon through the Higgs boson exchange, is much smaller than the previous lattice results.

description: Abstract

The locally originated and transferred across generations with day-to-day life activities is indigenous knowledge and skills. This article aims to investigate the knowledge and experiences of indigenous knowledge of teachers teaching English at secondary-level schools in Simta Rural Municipality, Surkhet, Nepal. This narrative inquiry was based on the focused interview of two teachers who were born and raised in the study area. Based on the objectives, the information was transcribed, coded, and categorized, and a conclusion: massive implementation of indigenous knowledge with terminological variations, and high familiarity with the indigenous knowledge, especially among the impoverished, confident about the usefulness of the indigenous knowledge but reluctant to share it in formal classes because of various reasons. Moreover, educationists already started keeping local knowledge in the social subject curriculum. Further, the participant teachers raised issues with the local authority to make the local curriculum with the local content as a dawn mark for the inclusion of indigenous knowledge and skills in formal education. Indigenous knowledge and skills not only make learning practical but also play a vital role in the sustainable development of the economy, ecology, and society. Thus, recommended to implement local knowledge and skills as the form of school curriculum.

description: Various regimes of a charge motion along a chain in a constant electric field are investigated. This motion is simulated on the basis of the Holstein model. Earlier studies demonstrate a possibility of a uniform motion of a charge in a constant electric field over very long distances. For small values of the electric field intensity a Holstein polaron can move at a constant velocity. As the electric field intensity increases, a charge motion acquires oscillatorily character, performing Bloch oscillations. Since the charge motion depends on the whole set of the system parameters the character of the motion depends not only on the value of the electric field intensity. Therefore, the electric field intensity for which the uniform motion takes place differs for chains with different parameters. The character of the charge motion and distribution is considered in chains with different values of the constant of coupling between the charge and the displacements of the chain. It is shown that the values of the electric field intensity for which the regime of a charge motion changes are different in chains with different values of the coupling constant. It is also demonstrated that for one and the same value of the electric field intensity, in chains with different values of the coupling constant either a uniform motion or an oscillatory motion, or a stationary polaron can be observed.

description: We suggest a simple one-Higgs-doublet model living in the bulk of five-dimensional spacetime compactified on $S^1/Z_2$, in which the top Yukawa coupling can be smaller than the naive standard-model expectation, i.e. the top quark mass divided by the Higgs vacuum expectation value. If we find only single Higgs particle at the LHC and also observe the top Yukawa deviation, our scenario becomes a realistic candidate beyond the standard model. The Yukawa deviation comes from the fact that the wave function profile of the free physical Higgs field can become different from that of the vacuum expectation value, due to the presence of the brane-localized Higgs potentials. In the Brane-Localized Fermion scenario, we find sizable top Yukawa deviation, which could be checked at the LHC experiment, with a dominant Higgs production channel being the $WW$ fusion. We also study the Bulk Fermion scenario with brane-localized Higgs potential, which resembles the Universal Extra Dimension model with a stable dark matter candidate. We show that both scenarios are consistent with the current electroweak precision measurements.

description: Colloidal particles with mobile binding molecules constitute a powerful platform for probing the physics of self-assembly. Binding molecules are free to diffuse and rearrange on the surface, giving rise to spontaneous control over the number of droplet-droplet bonds, i.e., valence, as a function of the concentration of binders. This type of valence control has been realized experimentally by tuning the interaction strength between DNA-coated emulsion droplets. Optimizing for valence two yields droplet polymer chains, termed `colloidomers', which have recently been used to probe the physics of folding. To understand the underlying self-assembly mechanisms, here we present a coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) model to study the self-assembly of this class of systems using explicit representations of mobile binding sites. We explore how valence of assembled structures can be tuned through kinetic control in the strong binding limit. More specifically, we optimize experimental control parameters to obtain the highest yield of long linear colloidomer chains. Subsequently tuning the dynamics of binding and unbinding via a temperature-dependent model allows us to observe the heptamer chain collapse into all possible rigid structures, in good agreement with recent folding experiments. Our CGMD platform and dynamic bonding model (implemented as an open-source custom plugin to HOOMD-Blue) reveal the molecular features governing the binding patch size and valence control, and opens the study of pathways in colloidomer folding. This model can therefore guide programmable design in experiments.

description: Solar cells based on organic compounds are a proven emergent alternative to conventional electrical energy generation. Here, we provide a computational study of power conversion efficiency optimization of BODIPY-derivatives by means of their associated open circuit voltage, short-circuit density, and fill factor. In so doing, we compute for the derivatives' geometrical structures, energy levels of frontier molecular orbitals, absorption spectra, light collection efficiencies, and exciton binding energies, via density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent (TD)--DFT calculations. We fully-characterize four D--$π$--A (BODIPY) molecular systems of high efficiency and improved $J_{sc}$ that are well suited for integration into bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells as electron-donor materials in the active layer. Our results are two-fold: We found that molecular complexes with an structural isoxazoline ring exhibit a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE), a useful result for improving the BHJ current, and, on the other hand, by considering the molecular systems as electron-acceptor materials, with P3HT as the electron-donor in the active layer, we found a high PCE compound favorability with a pyrrolidine ring in its structure, in contrast to the molecular systems built with an isoxazoline ring. The theoretical characterization of the electronic properties of the BODIPY-derivatives here provided, computed with a combination of ab-initio methods and quantum models, can be readily applied to other sets of molecular complexes in order to hierarchize optimal power conversion efficiency.

description: Using the Infrared Spectrograph aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, we observed multiple epochs of 11 actively accreting T Tauri stars in the nearby Taurus-Auriga star forming region. In total, 88 low-resolution mid-infrared spectra were collected over 1.5 years in Cycles 2 and 3. The results of this multi-epoch survey show that the 10 um silicate complex in the spectra of two sources - DG Tau and XZ Tau - undergoes significant variations with the silicate feature growing both weaker and stronger over month- and year-long timescales. Shorter timescale variations on day- to week-long timescales were not detected within the measured flux errors. The time resolution coverage of this data set is inadequate for determining if the variations are periodic. Pure emission compositional models of the silicate complex in each epoch of the DG Tau and XZ Tau spectra provide poor fits to the observed silicate features. These results agree with those of previous groups that attempted to fit only single-epoch observations of these sources. Simple two-temperature, two-slab models with similar compositions successfully reproduce the observed variations in the silicate features. These models hint at a self-absorption origin of the diminution of the silicate complex instead of a compositional change in the population of emitting dust grains. We discuss several scenarios for producing such variability including disk shadowing, vertical mixing, variations in disk heating, and disk wind events associated with accretion outbursts.

description: The Trotterized Unitary Coupled Cluster Single and Double (UCCSD) ansatz has recently attracted interest due to its use in Variation Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) molecular simulations on quantum computers. However, when the size of molecules increases, UCCSD becomes less interesting as it cannot achieve sufficient accuracy. Including higher-order excitations is therefore mandatory to recover the UCC's missing correlation effects. In this Letter, we extend the Trotterized UCC approach via the addition of (true) Triple T excitations introducing UCCSDT. We also include both spin and orbital symmetries. Indeed, in practice, these later help to reduce unnecessarily circuit excitations and thus accelerate the optimization process enabling to tackle larger molecules. Our initial numerical tests (12-14 qubits) show that UCCSDT improves the overall accuracy by at least two-orders of magnitudes with respect to standard UCCSD. Overall, the UCCSDT ansatz is shown to reach chemical accuracy and to be competitive with the CCSD(T) gold-standard classical method of quantum chemistry.

description: We construct second-quantized (field) theories on coset spaces of pseudo-unitary groups U(p,q)$. The existence of degenerated quantum vacua (coherent states of zero modes) leads to a breakdown of the original pseudo-unitary symmetry. The action of some spontaneously broken symmetry transformations destabilize the vacuum and make it to radiate. We study the structure of this thermal radiation for curved phase spaces of constant curvature: complex projective spaces CP^{N-1}=SU(N)/U(N-1) and open complex balls CD^{N-1}=SU(1,N-1)/U(N-1). Positive curvature is related to generalized Fermi-Dirac (FD) statistics, whereas negative curvature is connected with generalized Bose-Einstein (BE) statistics, the standard cases being recovered for N=2. We also make some comments on the contribution of the vacuum (dark) energy to the cosmological constant and the phenomenon of inflation.

description: We consider a timelike geodesic congruence in the presence of perturbative quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric. We calculate the change in the volume of a bundle of geodesics due to such fluctuations and thereby obtain a quantum-gravitationally modified timelike Raychaudhuri equation. Quantum gravity generically increases the convergence of congruences and the production of caustics.

description: Determining of the solute mass amount in seawater using in situ measurements in seas and oceans remains now an unresolved problem. To solve it, it is necessary to develop both new methods and instruments for measurements. This article analyzes methods for the indirect measuring of salinity and density using parameters that can be measured in situ, including relative electrical conductivity, speed of sound, temperature and hydrostatic pressure. The authors propose an electric conductivity sensor design that allows for obtaining data on solid suspensions along with measuring the impedance of electrodes under various the alternating current frequencies. The authors analyze the joint measurement technique using the CTD and SVP devices in a marine testing area. Based on the results of joint measurements, the authors present tests of water samples of various salt composition for the presence of solid suspensions.

Effects of multiple pairs on visibility measurements of entangled photons generated by spontaneous parametric processes

description: Entangled photon-pair sources based on spontaneous parametric processes are widely used in photonic quantum information experiments. In this paper, we clarify the relationship between average photon-pair number and the visibility of two-photon interference (TPI) using those entanglement sources. We consider sources that generate distinguishable and indistinguishable entangled photon pairs, assuming coincidence measurements that use threshold detectors. We present formulas for the TPI visibility of a polarization entanglement that take account of all the high-order multi-pair emission events. Moreover, we show that the formulas can be approximated with simple functions of the average pair number when the photon collection efficiency is small. As a result, we reveal that an indistinguishable entangled pair provides better visibility than a distinguishable one.

description: We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes on quenched random energy landscapes. We show that the current and the diffusion coefficient differ from those for homogeneous environments. Using the mean-field approximation, we analytically obtain the site density when the particle density is low or high. As a result, the current and the diffusion coefficient are described by the dilute limit of particles or holes, respectively. However, in the intermediate regime, due to the many-body effect, the current and the diffusion coefficient differ from those for single-particle dynamics. The current is almost constant and becomes the maximal value in the intermediate regime. Moreover, the diffusion coefficient decreases with the particle density in the intermediate regime. We obtain analytical expressions for the maximal current and the diffusion coefficient based on the renewal theory. The deepest energy depth plays a central role in determining the maximal current and the diffusion coefficient. As a result, the maximal current and the diffusion coefficient depend crucially on the disorder, i.e., non-self-averaging. Based on the extreme value theory, we find that sample-to-sample fluctuations of the maximal current and diffusion coefficient are characterized by the Weibull distribution. We show that the disorder averages of the maximal current and the diffusion coefficient converge to zero as the system size is increased and quantify the degree of the non-self-averaging effect for the maximal current and the diffusion coefficient.

description: In this work, we demonstrate that Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) applied to atomic positions in two different states of a biomolecule produces a good reaction coordinate between those two states. Atomic coordinates of a macromolecule are a direct representation of a macromolecular configuration, and yet they have not been used in enhanced sampling studies due to a lack of rotational and translational invariance. We resolve this issue using the technique of our prior work, where a molecular configuration is considered a member of an equivalence class in size-and-shape space, which is the set of all configurations that can be translated and rotated to a single point within a reference multivariate Gaussian distribution characterizing a single molecular state. The reaction coordinates produced by LDA applied to positions are shown to be good reaction coordinates both in terms of characterizing the transition between two states of a system within a long molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and also ones that allow us to readily produce free energy estimates along that reaction coordinate using enhanced sampling MD techniques.

Centralized QoS-Aware Resource Allocation for D2D Communications with Multiple D2D Pairs in One Resource Block

description: Device-to-device (D2D) communications can result in spectral efficiency (SE) improvement of cellular networks when interference is addressed properly. For further improvement of overall network sum-rate, it can be assumed that multiple D2D pairs reuse the same resource block (RB) of a cellular user equipment (CUE). In this paper, we study a centralized joint power and spectrum resource allocation problem to maximize the overall sum-rate of the network while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of CUEs and admitted D2D pairs. The proposed method uses a distance based approach to select a CUE at each step with a distance and power based approach to increase the number of admitted D2D pairs. A power minimization approach when the number of admitted D2D pairs are increasing and a power maximization approach at the end of resource allocation for each RB is proposed. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves SE compared to the situation where at most one D2D pair can reuse the RB of a CUE. It also shows that the proposed algorithm has a slight lower performance compared to the optimal scheme but dramatically decreases the matching complexity and signaling overhead.
Full Jet Reconstruction in Heavy Ion Collisions

description: Full jet reconstruction has traditionally been thought to be difficult in heavy ion events due to large multiplicity backgrounds. The search for new physics in high luminosity p+p collisions at the LHC similarly requires the precise measurement of jets over large backgrounds caused by pile up; this has motivated the development of a new generation of jet reconstruction algorithms which are also applicable in the heavy ion environment. We review the latest results on jet-medium interactions as seen in A+A collisions at RHIC, focusing on the new techniques for full jet reconstruction.

Heat-flux Fluctuations reveals regime transitions in Rayleigh-Bénard convection

description: The study of the transitions among different regimes in thermal convection has been an issue of paramount importance in fluid mechanics. While the bifurcations at low Rayleigh number, when the flow is laminar or moderately chaotic, have been fully understood for a long time, transitions at higher Rayleigh number are much more difficult to be clearly identified. Here, through a numerical study of the two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection covering four decades in Rayleigh number for two different Prandtl numbers, we find a clear-cut transition by considering the fluctuations of the heat flux through a horizontal plane, rather than its mean value. More specifically, we have found that this sharp transition is displayed by a jump of the ratio of the root-mean-square fluctuations of the heat flux to its mean value and occurs at $Ra/Pr \approx 10^9$. Above the transition, this ratio is found to be constant in all regions of the flow, while taking different values in the bulk and at the boundaries. Below the transition instead, different behaviors are observed at the boundaries and in the bulk: at the boundaries, this ratio decreases with respect to the Rayleigh number whereas it is found to be constant in the bulk for all values of the Rayleigh number. Through this numerical evidence and an analytical reasoning we confirm what was already observed in experiments, that is the decrease of the ratio of root-mean-square fluctuations of the heat flux to its mean value, observed at the boundaries below the transition, can understood in terms of the law of large numbers.
