Vägvisare mot en hållbar stad? En kvalitativ studie i samband med Stockholmsförsöket 2005-2006
Creators: name: Hagman, Olle
name: Andréasson, Håkan
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: Föredraget presenterar upplägg och resultat från djupintervjuer med boende i tre bostadsområden i samband med det så kallade “Stockholmsförsöket” med trängselskatt och utökad kollektivtrafik. Undersökningen syftar till att studera: • hur de boendes resmönster ser ut och varför de ser ut som de gör, • hur resmönstren påverkas av bostadsorten och av vald livsstil, • hur de boende (i praktiken) påverkas av trängselskatteförsöket och - vad som styr deras attityder till trängselskatten. Alla de tre undersökta områdena är nybyggda, vilket innebär att de boende i de flesta fall nyligen förändrat sina resvanor. Man kan anta att detta gör dem mer påverkbara och mer benägna att än en gång ändra sina rutiner. Ett av områdena, Hammarby sjöstad, ligger relativt centralt i Stockholm, straxt utanför avgiftsgränsen. Det är ett före detta industriområde och bostäderna är ett resultat av den förtätning av bebyggelsen som numera pågår i Stockholm liksom i många andra städer. De andra två områdena, Hallunda kyrkby och Vallentuna Bällstaberg, ligger längre ut från centrum och bebyggelsen där är mer ett resultat av expansion i traditionell mening, då det är tidigare naturområden som bebyggts. Båda dessa områden har i samband med Stockholmsförsöket fått förstärkt kollektivtrafik i form av direktbussar in till centrum under högtrafiktid, som komplement till befintlig tunnelbana eller pendeltåg.

Collecting, Analyzing and Interpreting Bivariate Data from Leaky Buckets: A Project-Based Learning Unit
Creators: name: Obielodan, Florence Funmilayo
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Despite the significance and the emphasis placed on mathematics as a subject and field of study, achieving the right attitude to improve students‟ understanding and performance is still a challenge. Previous studies have shown that the problem cuts across nations around the world, both developing countries and developed alike. Teachers and educators of the subject have responsibilities to continuously develop innovative pedagogical approaches that will enhance students‟ interests and performance. Teaching approaches that emphasize real life applications of the subject have become imperative. It is believed that this will stimulate learners‟ interest in the subject as they will be able to connect theories with applications. In this study, a project-based learning approach developed for teaching in secondary schools is presented. The experimental approach will help students to formulate research questions, collect, record, analyze and interpret data. They will also be able to develop mathematical relationships and graphical representations for their data. An experimental unit has been designed to test this pedagogical approach.

Pulcinella tuttofare. Un caso di perdita colmata nel dramma musicale Livlægens besøg di Bo Holten
Creators: name: Meraviglia, Fabrizio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Il paper è incentrato sul dramma musicale Livlægens besøg (2009) del compositore danese Bo Holten, basato sul complesso omonimo bestseller di Per Olov Enquist imperniato sulle vicende del regno danese di Christian VII. Scopo dell’articolo è riuscire a comprendere quale sia la funzione della presenza di Pulcinella nelle scelte registiche della prima messinscena. Per giungere a dei risultati concreti si sono presi in considerazione alcuni studi relativi ai Pulcinella disegnati da Giandomenico Tiepolo, studi nei quali l’iconografia del personaggio comico viene studiata sia da un punto di vista storico-artistico (Bostock) sia da un punto di vista prettamente psicologico (Carli). Pulcinella interagisce sull’azione, la maschera gli impedisce la comunicazione mimica del viso ma non quella corporea. La sua funzione è in linea con la lettura psicologica di Carli, secondo la quale Pulcinella rappresenta una sorta di sospensione del giudizio emotivo. Christian è il personaggio che più è legato a Pulcinella, in quanto esso assume un valore metateatrale. Infatti, come emerge dal romanzo di Enquist ma non dal libretto dell’opera, il sovrano era molto attaccato all’arte drammatica e Pulcinella incarna questa sua passione. Pulcinella ha quindi un carattere unificatore all’interno della complessità di Livlægens besøg.

description: We study various inflation models in the Jordan frame supergravity with a logarithmic Kahler potential. We find that, in a class of inflation models containing an additional singlet in the superpotential, three types of inflation can be realized: the Higgs-type inflation, power-law inflation, and chaotic inflation with/without a running kinetic term. The former two are possible if the holomorphic function dominates over the non-holomorphic one in the frame function, while the chaotic inflation occurs when both are comparable. Interestingly, the fractional-power potential can be realized by the running kinetic term. We also discuss the implication for the Higgs inflation in supergravity.

Press Start & Small Things
Creators: name: Brown, Brian Mark
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis project comprises two essay-length memoir pieces exploring the dimensions of fatherhood accompanied by a critical introduction. The essay “Press Start” explores the influence of video games on a young father, tapping his own childhood experiences to illuminate his relationship to the games as well as to his spouse and children. “Small Things” shows his efforts in preparing for the arrival of twins, an event which threatens to disrupt the family dynamic. Touching on issues of protection, separation, and control, the essays work together to comment on the complexities of the father-child relationship from a father’s point of view. The critical introduction examines the role of the father in broad terms and discusses the work of other writers who are treating the same subjects.
Improving Concrete Containment Structures Associated With Fixed-Cone Valves
Creators: name: Buck, B. Skyler
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Fixed-Cone valves are often used to dissipate energy and regulate flow at the low level outlet works of dams. Fixed-Cone valves, also known as Howell-Bunger valves, create an expanding conical jet allowing the energy of the water to dissipate over a large area. However, in many applications constructing the large stilling basin necessary for these valves is either not possible or not feasible. In order to reduce the relative size of the stilling basin, hoods or concrete containment structures have been used in conjunction with Fixed-Cone valves. This paper compares two methods of energy dissipation used in conjunction with concrete containment structures. The first method of energy dissipation is the use of baffles, and the second is a deflector ring with end sill. In order to determine which type of energy dissipation method was most effective for this particular application, measurements and observations were taken in order to compare the amount of energy dissipated by the structure and the Fixed-Cone valve, the air demand of the structure, the velocities downstream of the structure, and flow stability downstream of the structure. This information will be useful to engineers allowing them to minimize scour and erosion associated with concrete containment structures.

Mariangela in Verga’s La caccia al lupo: From Page to Stage
Creators: name: De Francisci, Enza
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2013

description: This article considers the transposition from short story into play of Giovanni Verga’s La caccia al lupo. This pair of texts has been studied less than Cavalleria rusticana and La Lupa,and therefore the present discussion aims to contribute to existing critical literature by concentrating on Verga’s methods of presenting the female character (Lollo’s wife, Mariangela) in the two genres, assessing what occurs when the voice of the narrator is replaced by the exchanges of the characters on stage. The textual analysis shows how, although Mariangela takes a subsidiary position in the triangular relationship in which she is involved, she nonetheless remains the key catalyst of the plot. It will be suggested here that it is not until Verga reworks La caccia al lupo for the stage (the last work he transposes ‘from page to stage’) that he experiments with the theatre in order to take the action one step further. Each of the modifications introduced into the dramatic version (such as the extra scenes, the ‘coda’, and the use of stage directions) not only enhances the original plot, but develops Mariangela’s characterization. Consequently, unlike the reader of the novella, the audience of the play gains an insight into the different roles that she ‘performs’, and how she exploits her reasoning to save herself from the ‘wolf hunt’.

description: The lack of FeVII lines in PG1159 stars had led to the conclusion that in some objects iron must be strongly depleted. We have now detected FeX lines in FUSE spectra of the very hottest PG1159 stars Teff=150,000 - 200,000 K; RXJ2117.1+3412, K1-16, NGC 246, Longmore 4). Surprisingly, we derive a solar iron abundance. It is conspicuous that they are among the most massive PG1159 stars (0.71-0.82 Msun), in contrast to those objects for which strongest Fe-deficiency was claimed (0.53-0.56 Msun). Based on new FeVIII line identifications in SOHO/SUMER UV spectra of the Sun, we were able to detect these lines in FUSE spectra of several "cooler" (Teff<150,000 K) objects, among them is the prototype PG1159-035. An abundance analysis is in progress.

Effect of Aquatic and Body Weight Supported Treadmill Exercise on Physiological and Kinematic Measures
Creators: name: Wing, Jessica Ensign
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of underwater treadmill (UTM), body weight supported (BWS), and land treadmill (LTM) exercise on oxygen consumption (VO2), ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), and two-dimensional kinematics of the lower extremities during. Seventeen healthy and physically active male participants between the ages of 21 and 40 years performed an exercise bout for each mode of exercise. Each exercise bout lasted 7 min, consisting of 5 min of walking and 2 min of running and using the same self-selected treadmill walking and running speeds throughout all three conditions. The VO2, RPE, and kinematic data were collected during each exercise bout. The participants were submerged to the xiphoid process during the UTM exercise session and 20% of their body weight was unloaded using a Pneumax body weight support unloader for the BWS session. An ANOVA with follow-up multiple comparisons were used to determine significance differences (alpha = 0.05) among modes of exercise. Results revealed that VO2 values for LTM and BWS were 10% and 6% less (p < .02), respectively than UTM walking exercise. During running, there were no significant differences between the LTM and UTM. The VO2 values were 9% less (p < .01) during BWS than LTM exercise. There were no differences between RPE levels for any of the conditions. Plantar flexion joint angular displacement values were greater accompanied by decreased velocities for UTM exercise in comparison to LTM and BWS for both walking and running. Knee extension values were greater for walking and running during LTM and BWS than UTM exercise at 5% and 4% respectively (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that VO2 values are greater during UTM than LTM exercise during self-selected walking speeds and comparable during selfselected running speeds. However, kinematically there are differences in the ankle and knee joints during UTM exercise in comparison to the other two exercise modes, whereas similar lower extremity joint angular displacements and velocities occur during BWS and LTM exercise for both walking and running. These findings would indicate that based on what a clinician’s goal for their patient is, a BWS unloader may be best for a patient doing gait retraining to obtain similar gait techniques as they would find on a LTM and an UTM may be best for a patient wanting to keep their VO2 responses at the same level as seen on land, but with a decreased concern of providing similar gait techniques as those obtained by a LTM.

description: We present the results of a survey of radio continuum sources near the Galactic plane using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). Our observations are designed to identify compact extragalactic sources of milliarcsecond size that can be used for parallax measurements in the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy Survey. We selected point sources from the NVSS and CORNISH catalogs with flux densities above 30 mJy and within $1.5\degr$ of known maser targets. Of the 1529 sources observed, 199 were detected. For sources detected on 3 or more baselines, we determined accurate positions and evaluated their quality as potential calibrators. Most of the 1330 sources that were not detected with the VLBA are probably of extragalactic origin.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Supporting a variety of communication protocols has typically required extensive hard- ware and Input/Output (I/O) interfaces targeting each protocol specifically. Recent designs in the past ten years have created more dynamic approaches by using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and embedded hardware to implement or simulate previous hardware I/O designs. With the constant increase in FPGA and embedded technologies the capabilities of dynamic implementations have expanded. This report addresses the design of an up-to-date reconfigurable multi-faceted embedded device targeting recent technological advances in FPGAs.
The role of ergothioneine in the physiology and pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Creators: name: Richard-Greenblatt, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is capable of synthesizing the small sulfur compound ergothioneine (EGT). The physiological role and regulation of EGT biosynthesis in Mtb is unknown. However, mammalian cells deficient in EGT demonstrate augmented oxidative stress and cell death, suggesting that EGT is an antioxidant. Through this work, we identified the Mtb EGT biosynthesis genes and characterized rv3701c (egtD) to encode for a histidine methyltransferase that forms the EGT biosynthetic pathway intermediate, hercynine (N-α-trimethylhistidine). Construction of a knockout (ΔegtD) demonstrated the methyltransferase to be essential for EGT biosynthesis in Mtb. We investigated the role of EGT in protecting Mtb during macrophage infection and observed a small but significant difference in the ex vivo growth and survival of the ΔegtD strain relative to H37Rv wildtype and the complement strains 120 h post-infection of murine macrophages. However, there was no difference in survival of the ΔegtD mutant in human THP-1 cells over this time period suggesting an alternative role for EGT in Mtb physiology and pathogenesis. Upon further analysis we found EgtD to be phosphorylated by and interact with the Mtb Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase PknD. Phosphorylation of EgtD both in vitro and inside Escherichia coli identified phosphorylation at site Thr-213, permitting us to generate an EgtD phosphomimetic and phosphoablative mutant strains with our ΔegtD mutant. In vitro analysis, demonstrated phosphorylated EgtD to produce significantly lower quantities of methylated histidine relative to the non-phosphorylated form. Further quantification of intracellular EGT levels in the Mtb EgtD phosphomutants and Mtb PknD transposon mutant identified PknD to negatively regulate EGT biosynthesis. From these results, we identified that EGT biosynthesis is up-regulated in response to nutrient starvation. Under these conditions, the Mtb ΔegtD mutant was unable to maintain viability compared to its parental wildtype and complement strains. As starvation induces a non-replicative state in Mtb, these findings indicate that EGT plays a role in mediating persistent infection or disease latency. Further metabolic analysis identified Mtb intracellular EGT levels to be directly correlated with carbon source type and availability, suggesting a role for EGT in long-term energy storage.
Towards a Wise Despotism: Traces of Thomas Carlyle in the BBC North and South (2004)
Creators: name: Wallace, Mark
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Thomas Carlyle was among the most influential writers in the English language during the 19th century, but is now ostensibly absent from cultural memory. Nevertheless, his ideas may be seen to live on indirectly in the works of the writers he influenced, one of whom is Elizabeth Gaskell. The 2004 adaptation of Gaskell’s North and South provides an instance of a modern approach to Carlylean ideas embodied in the source text. The adaptation finds itself in dialogue with Carlylean notions of heroism and leadership, modifying these notions for acceptance with a 21st century audience. The treatment of the Carlylean content of Gaskell’s novel is both revealing of socio-political ideals latent in modern audiences and a demonstration of the transmission and transmutation of ideologies through narrative and across media.

Russia at War: Chechnya, Georgia, and Theories of Foreign Policy
Creators: name: Pack, Tyler J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The conflicts in Chechnya and Georgia are for Russia the seminal policy events of the turbulent post-­‐Soviet era. Learning about Russian conflict policy thinking with respect to these cases should help to illuminate broader Russian foreign policy objectives and tendencies. Even though the Chechen Wars were by nature domestic conflicts, I believe that trends and patterns from that case, combined with insights from the Georgian conflict, can help identify strengths and weaknesses of major Russian foreign policy theories.  Though there are many such theories, I see that most fall into one of two broad categories. While there is some overlap, I believe that the major theories of Russian foreign policy ascribe policy decisions either to historical narratives and trends or current events and context. Within the framework of past events, I will consider two theories of Russian foreign policy: the historical continuity theory and the imposed insecurity theory. When looking at policy decisions stemming more from current happenings, I will also look at two important theories, the diversionary tension theory and the economic enabling theory. Information from my two cases can help us assess the general validity of each of the theories, or alternately, help us grasp the contingent applicability of the theories. No one theory may be able to adequately fit or explain all important events. What features of foreign policy events invoke one or the other distinctive patterns of foreign policy practice? I begin by considering these theories of Russian foreign policy, and then consider how well each theory fits each conflict. Then I explore whether conditions exist in the two cases that invoke distinctive foreign policy patterns.  One caveat: these theories often imply a unitary actor assumption for Russian foreign policy goals, strategy, and implementation. This assumption can dangerously simplify a theory if it is taken too far. Foreign policy decisions in Russia have traditionally fallen to the executive branch, but today, the division between the duties of President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin is not always clear. There are other interested parties in play as well. Competing factions, opinions, and goals make it unwise to make such bold statements as “Russia wants” as if there is a monolithic, unified entity in charge of policy. Statements of “Russia’s” desires or goals in this paper should be understood under the unitary actor framework that these theories often include or imply, with all the attendant limitations. This approach serves a useful purpose in making each theory manageable for study and discussion within the scope of the paper.

description: QCD string is formed at the distances larger than the confinement scale and can be described by the Polchinski--Strominger effective string theory with a nonpolynomial action, which has nevertheless a well-defined semiclassical expansion around a long-string ground state. We utilize modern ideas about the Wilson-loop/scattering-amplitude duality to calculate scattering amplitudes and show that the expansion parameter in the effective string theory is small in the Regge kinematical regime. For the amplitudes we obtain the Regge behavior with a linear trajectory of the intercept (d-2)/24 in d dimensions, which is computed semiclassically as a momentum-space Luscher term, and discuss an application to meson scattering amplitudes in QCD.

Alternative Futures for the Upper Colorado River Ecosystem: Phase II
Creators: name: Taylor, Temis G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Wildlife habitat and biodiversity in the Upper Colorado River Ecosystem are threatened by growth of urban areas, subdivision of rural lands, and exploitation of natural resources. The White-Yampa, Colorado Headwaters, and Gunnison River Watersheds within the region were investigated to discover areas supporting high biodiversity that would be possible candidates for conservation efforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Using an alternative futures planning process and principles of landscape ecology, development of energy of the resources in the region was found to be the primary driver for land use and impacts to wildlife habitat. Through application of geospatial modeling techniques, three alternative futures were developed by means of varying scenarios for wildlife habitat conservation and energy resource development. Results were analyzed to find areas of conflict, and futures were evaluated for habitat conservation potential, impacts on agriculture and ranching, and effects on future growth and development. Final recommendations for targeting conservation areas are based on likelihood of land use conflict, habitat value, and connectivity through the landscape. Smaller scale examination of habitat value and targeted species’ specific needs will need to be conducted prior to implementation.

Traffic Culture: Law, Morality and Actual Behaviour

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper is about culture of automobility and is based on a qualitative and quantitative enquiry carried out in Northern Jutland, Denmark 2005. The paper presents information about traffic culture in Denmark, theoretical and methodological reflections on traffic safety. The purpose of the paper is to present a sociological view of the Danish traffic culture and it is constructed around three basic issues. The first is how drivers relate to legal standards and moral norms in traffic. The second the possibilities and constraints of legal standards and moral norms to regulate the behaviour of drivers and the final issue is how this influence the risk of traffic accidents among drivers. Since most accidents occur with two or more drivers it is important to bring attention to social patterns of interaction and the ability of normative practises to regulate the behaviour of drivers. It is an almost absent perspective in current research concerning traffic safety.

description: We (re)derive the propagators and Feynman rules for the massless scalar and vector multiplets in N=2 Projective Superspace ('Projective Hyperspace'). With these, we are able to calculate both the divergent and finite parts of 2, 3 & 4-point functions at 1-loop for N=2 Super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM) explicitly in Projective Hyperspace itself. We find that effectively only the coupling constant needs to be renormalized unlike in the N=1 case where an independent wavefunction renormalization is also required. This feature is similar to that of the background field gauge, even though we are using ordinary Fermi-Feynman gauge. The computation of 1-hoop beta-function is then straightforward and matches with the known result. We also show that it receives no 2-hoops contributions. All these calculations provide an alternative proof of the finiteness of N=4 SYM.

description: I dette paper beskrives de metodemæssige muligheder, der ligger i at benytte den nyeste teknologi til dataindsamling og databehandling i adfærdsstudier. Paperet er skrevet med udgangspunkt i et afgangsprojekt med titlen ”Metodestudie i undersøgelse af aktivitets- og bevægelsesmønstre med GPS og turdagbog” på civilingeniøruddannelsen i Plan&Miljø ved Aalborg Universitet i 2006. Ved at kombinere bærbare GPS-enheder og en webbaseret turdagbog er der udviklet en ny metode for dataindsamling, som ikke tidligere har været anvendt i Danmark. Metoden blev anvendt i praksis til at indsamle data om aktiviteter og ture for 58 deltagere. Dataindsamlingen fungerede godt i praksis, og metoden er generelt meget brugervenlig, da GPS’en automatisk registrerer positioner og tider. Dermed flyttes fejlkilderne fra deltagerne til det tekniske udstyr. Det konkluderes, at kombinationen af bærbar GPS-enhed og webbaseret turdagbog en god metode til at indsamle data om adfærd i tid og rum. Den anvendte metode til dataindsamling gav et præcist billede af respondenternes færden og aktiviteter, idet de to former for registreringer supplerer hinanden. Brugen af positioneringsteknologi kan være med til at sikre pålidelige data, der indenfor mange former for planlægning kan anvendes som analyse- og beslutningsgrundlag. GPS teknologi gør det muligt at indsamle utrolig store datamængder, men der ligger en stor udfordring i at udvikle metoder til automatisk at behandle, fortolke og visualisere data. Som følge af projektets empiriske indgangsvinkel og deraf følgende forsøgsarbejde skal der rettes en tak til elever og personale fra Aalborg Katedralskole. Erik Jensen, EDB-medarbejder ved Aalborg Universitet skal have stor tak for at have programmeret den webbaserede turdagbog, der er et væsentligt element i projektet. Der rettes desuden tak til Spar Nord fonden og Det Obelske Familiefond, der har finansieret anvendt udstyr mm.

Fabio Vittorini, Il sogno all’opera.  Racconti onirici e testi melodrammatici
Creators: name: Abignente, Elisabetta
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Uno dei tratti caratteristici del libretto d’opera è quello di essere un componimento quasi del tutto privo di originalità. Frutto di un più o meno mediato processo di adattamento da una precedente opera letteraria – può trattarsi di tragedia, commedia, romanzo, racconto, cronaca, fiaba – il testo melodrammatico si pone inevitabilmente come un prodotto letterario di secondo grado, una riscrittura dunque, che sembra rinunciare però ad ogni forma di tensione agonistica col modello.

La nazione necessaria:  Massimo d’Azeglio e il diritto di unirsi ovvero di dividersi
Creators: name: Gigante, Claudio
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Nel contributo si propone un’interpretazione del pensiero politico di Massimo d’Azeglio, ricostruito attraverso i suoi principali pamphlets. Andando oltre le tradizionali sminuenti chiavi di lettura (all’insegna della bonomia e della “moderazione”) e discutendo le ragioni delle censure più gravi mosse a d’Azeglio (da Mazzini, poi da Gramsci) l’intervento si concentra sulla sua concezione della nazione e sul suo diritto a costituirsi e magari dissolversi. Un ragionamento che reca in sé le ragioni profonde del senso comune dell’identità nazionale e nel contempo i germi della sua possibile crisi.

Bedre tilgængelighed – Flere passagerer
Creators: name: Kejser, Kristoffer
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: I DSB S-tog arbejdes der meget på at gøre rejsen med S-tog bedre. Selve togrejsen er kerneproduktet for DSB, men for kunden kan rejsen til og fra stationen let vise sig at være den vanskeligste del af rejsen. S-togs passagerer er meget følsomme overfor afstanden til stationen. Derfor kan der være perspektiver i, at gøre adgangen til stationen bedre, og derved opnå en passagervækst for relativt begrænsede midler. I DSB S-tog arbejdes der med en række forskellige tiltag til, hvordan adgangen til stationerne kan forbedres - Et arbejde, der skal munde ud i en egentlig tilbringerstratgi.

Mathematical Justification of Introductory Hypothesis Tests and Development of Reference Materials
Creators: name: Loveland, Jennifer L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This purpose of this project was to create a set of reference material for an introductory level statistics course. The focus was on the Neyman-Pearson approach to hypothesis testing. A brief historical development of the Neyman-Pearson approach is followed by mathematical proofs of each of the hypothesis tests covered in the reference material. The reference material includes the basic hypothesis tests taught in an introductory statistics course, the accompanying distributions, and prerequisite information.

description: While building up a catalog of Earth orbiting objects, if the available optical observations are sparse, not deliberate follow ups of specific objects, no orbit determination is possible without previous correlation of observations obtained at different times. This correlation step is the most computationally intensive, and becomes more and more difficult as the number of objects to be discovered increases. In this paper we tested two different algorithms (and the related prototype software) recently developed to solve the correlation problem for objects in geostationary orbit (GEO), including the accurate orbit determination by full least squares solutions with all six orbital elements. Because of the presence in the GEO region of a significant subpopulation of high area to mass objects, strongly affected by non-gravitational perturbations, it was actually necessary to solve also for dynamical parameters describing these effects, that is to fit between 6 and 8 free parameters for each orbit. The validation was based upon a set of real data, acquired from the ESA Space Debris Telescope (ESASDT) at the Teide observatory (Canary Islands). We proved that it is possible to assemble a set of sparse observations into a set of objects with orbits, starting from a sparse time distribution of observations, which would be compatible with a survey capable of covering the region of interest in the sky just once per night. This could result in a significant reduction of the requirements for a future telescope network, with respect to what would have been required with the previously known algorithm for correlation and orbit determination.

Examination of catchment areas for public transport
Creators: name: Landex, Alex

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: The paper presents an approach to examine catchment areas for stops in high quality public transport systems based on the street network in the examined area. This is achieved by implementing the Service Area function from the ArcGIS extension Network Analyst. The approach is compared to a more simple approach using only the Euclidean distance from the examined stop and the paper describes the differences in detail-level of the results. Furthermore, the paper describes how the Service Area approach can be used to examine increments in the catchment areas by adding extra entrances to stations or by making changes in the street network around the station. The paper also discusses the degree of realism in used GIS networks and how it can affect the size of the catchment areas. It is concluded that the Service Area approach improves the detail-level and accuracy in catchment area analyses. These improvements are well suited for examinations of changes in station entrances and/or street network.

description: We study both experimentally and theoretically the self-assembly of binary block copolymers in dilute solution, where self-assembly is triggered by changing the solvent from the common good solvent THF to the selective solvent water, and where the two species on their own in water form vesicles and spherical micelles respectively. We find that in water the inter-micellar exchange of these block copolymers is very slow so that the self-assembled structures are in local but not global equilibrium (i.e., they are non-ergodic). This opens up the possibility of controlling micelle morphology both thermodynamically and kinetically. Specifically, when the two species are first dissolved in THF before mixing and self-assembly (`premixing') by dilution with water, the morphology is found to depend on the mixing ratio of the two species, going gradually from vesicles via `bulbed' rods, rings, Y-junctions and finally to spherical micelles as we increase the proportion of the sphere-formers. On the other hand, if the two species are first partially self-assembled (by partial exchange of the solvent with water) before mixing and further self-assembly (`intermediate mixing'), novel metastable structures, including nanoscopic pouches, emerge. These experimental results are corroborated by self-consistent field theory calculations (SCFT) which reproduce the sequence of morphologies seen in the pre-mixing experiments. SCFT also reveals a clear coupling between polymer composition and aggregate curvature, with regions of positive and negative curvature being stabilized by an enrichment and depletion of sphere formers respectively. Our study demonstrates that both thermodynamic and kinetic blending of block copolymers are effective design parameters to control the resulting structures and allow us to access a much richer range of nano-morphologies than is possible with monomodal block copolymer solutions.
