Wadeable streams as widespread sources of benthic cyanotoxins in California, USA
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Bakterientoxin

description: Lentic water bodies and large rivers have long been recognized as being susceptible, under certain conditions, to toxin-producing ("toxigenicŁ) planktonic cyanobacterial blooms. Although benthic cyanobacteria commonly inhabit wadeable (i.e., shallow) streams, little has been published on the potential for cyanotoxin (e.g., microcystin) production in this water body type. Recent research in Monterey Bay, California, USA has linked inland-derived microcystins to numerous sea otter mortalities in the marine environment, a finding that illustrates the negative effects cyanotoxins can have on ecosystem services, even far downstream from their origin, due to fluvial transport. For the present study, surveys of >1200 wadeable stream segments were conducted throughout California during the spring and summer of 2007 through 2013, and revealed a high occurrence of potentially toxigenic benthic cyanobacteria. In addition, benthic microcystins were detected in one-third of sites, where tested (N = 368), based primarily on one-time sampling, from 2011 to 2013 (mean concentration was 46 ìg/m2 of stream-bottom). Sites where microcystins were detected spanned a variety of surrounding land-use types, from open space (i.e., undeveloped land) to heavily urbanized/agricultural. Lyngbyatoxin (n = 14), saxitoxins (n = 99), and anatoxin-a (n = 33) were also measured, at subsets of sites, and were also detected, albeit at lower rates than microcystins. Results of this study provide strong evidence that wadeable streams could be significant sources of cyanotoxin inputs to receiving waters, a finding that has implications for the management of drinking water, wildlife, and recreational resources, within both the streams themselves and in downstream rivers, lentic water bodies, and the ocean.

description: Dagum and Slottje (2000) estimated household Human Capital (HC) as a Latent Variable (LV) proposing its monetary estimation by means of an actuarial approach. This paper introduces an improved method for the estimation of household HC as LV by means of formative and reflective indicators in agreement with the accepted economic definition of HC. The monetary HC distribution, estimated for Italian (2000) and US (2004) household, is used in a recursive causal model to explore the role of HC in macroeconomy.

description: We check the finite sample performance of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of a mixture distribution recently introduced for modelling ranks/preference data. The estimates are derived by the E-M algorithm and the performance is evaluated both from an univariate and bivariate points of view. While the results are generally acceptable as far as it concerns the bias, the Monte Carlo experiment shows a different behaviour of the estimators efficiency for the two parameters of the mixture, mainly depending upon their location in the admissible parametric space. Some operative suggestions conclude the paer.

Year: 2007

description: In this paper we compare four different approaches to estimate the structure parameter of a normal distribution of order p (often called exponential power distribution). In particular, we have considered the maximization of the log-likelihood, of the profile log-likelihood, of the conditional profile log-likelihood and a method based on an index of kurtosis. The results of a simulation study seem to indicate the latter approach as the best.

P-12 Black Male Principals: Our Journey Toward Comprehensive Mattering
Creators: name: Howard, Travis
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: mattering
subject: marginal mattering
subject: partial mattering
subject: comprehensive mattering
subject: instructional leadership

description: The voices of Black male principals in American P-12 settings have been silenced due to deficit framing that has informed hiring and retention practices, promotion, job roles, and job-related stress unique to Black male principals. I explore these challenges Black male principals face in P-12 settings using Carey’s (2019) conceptual framework of mattering for Black boys and young men in P-12 settings. The purpose of this collective case study was to center the voices of three P-12 Black male principals in South Carolina in order to conceptualize how Black male principals respond to marginal (a minimal recognition of Black boys that implies their insignificance) and partial mattering (selectively valuing certain talents and attributes Black boys embody). Further, this qualitative research study informed a reimagining of P-12 educational spaces where Black male principals comprehensively matter (fully conceiving the mattering of Black boys) based on the voices of these participants.
Two key findings on how P-12 Black male principals responded to marginal and partial mattering were represented by the three performance types of (a) “The Director”, (b) “The Strategic Statesman”, and (c) “The Purposeful Passivist”. Within each performance role, two themes emerged: (a) Stress responses (e.g., confusion, apathy) at district levels in response to racism and (b) Leadership dispositions (e.g., being solutions based, confident demeanor) used as coping strategies in response to oppression and racism. Three key findings emerged relative to how Black male principals would reimagine P-12 spaces that would account for their comprehensive mattering. Those were: (a) Instructional leadership (b) Deep demonstration of care for students and (c) A rejection of standardization as a way to lead teaching and learning.

 Diagnosis. Antennal club with bisinuate sutures. Margin of elytral declivity with 5 pairs of spines. Declivital spine 3 with single apex (Douglas et al. 2019).
 Remarks. After the capture of I. calligraphus during 2019, all archived samples from the traps placed both in the port and in the surrounding forest since 2013 were re-checked for any species of the genus Ips that might have gone unnoticed. As a result of this procedure, the unique specimen above of Ips grandicollis was found captured in trap MUFFET5 (of the same type as those used in the RAT and with the same attractants), belonging to another project developed by the Laboratori de Sanitat Forestal of Valencia Region and focused on biodiversity of saproxylic insects (Muffet Network; Generalitat Valenciana 2013). The single specimen was collected from a trap run during 30 June to 7 August 2014. This species is readily collected with the described traps and lures, and the absence of captures over seven years after 2014, with widespread deployment of traps, suggests that there has been no establishment in Valencian pine forests.

Una classe di stimatori basati sulla detectability: applicazioni alla misura dell'immigrazione clandestina
Creators: name: Nicolini, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2007

description: For many aspects knowing the number of clandestine immigrants in the same country is very important. For this purpose literature has proposed a lot of methods, among these the latest and the most interesting, because it is a direct method, is called "center sampling", as the centers are any aggregation places where the immigrants necessarily go. In this paper center sampling is modified under particular hypotheses, so two different detectabilities of immigrants are defined. The first one is equal for all the immigrants; the second one is different and related to the number of centers they go to. So these two detectabilities are used for estimating the number of clandestine immigrants. The expected value and the MSE of the two estimators have been defined, but their performance are necessarily been valued by simulation.

Year: 2007

description: The center sampling technique is well suited when a population is naturally gathered in overlapping groups of units for which the units can not be labeled and the group size as well as the population size are unknown. An unbiased estimator Ym for the mean of a quantitative characteristic of interest has been proposed under the simple hypotheses that the relative weight of each center is known. A second estimator Yc can be deduced from a previous proposal under the same hypothesis. In the present paper the exact variance of Yc together with an estimate of it are given. The two estimators are based on different ways of summarizing data and they coincide in the case of proportional allocation of the overall sample size only. A comparison between the two estimators is accomplished both from the inferential and from the practical point of view. Through a simulation study it is shown that no estimator is uniformly more efficient than the other in the general case of L>_2 centers. Besides it comes out that Yc is more efficient when there is a "small" variability of the center sampling fractions, while Ym is more efficient as this variability increases. Simulation also shows that the proposed estimators for the variance are asymptotically unbiased, consistent and c-consistent.

description: This project examines the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam, Netherlands as a case study for the impact and development of successful urban planning, and how certain cultural minorities such as Sephardic Jews within the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America shaped the city’s geography over time. This research project argues that the exchange between the architecture and materials in the colonies, as well as the Dutch Baroque style that will ultimately shape the Sephardic Jewish community’s central synagogue and Jewish Quarter into the ideal urban city model, ushered the Netherlands into a Golden Age. This research project is predominantly focused on social and architectural history, specifically within marginalized groups that are often brushed to the outskirts of historical records. The scope of this project falls between the Dutch Golden Age and the Colonial Period. This project uses historiography, geographical and architectural analysis, and a critique of urban development. This project intends to analyze urban planning and how design influences a city’s overall economic and social success on a transatlantic world stage, as well as to critique and decolonize former colonial spaces.

description: The Authors consider the general problem of similarity and dissimilarity measures in Symbolic Data Analysis. First of all they examine the classical definitions of elementary event, assertion object, hierarchical dependences and logical dependences. Then they consider some well-known measures of similarity and dissimilarity between two objects (Sokal-Michener, Roger-Tanimoto, Sokal-Sneath, Dice-Czekanowski-Sorenson, Russel-Rao). For resemblance measures based on aggregation functions, the authors consider the proposal of Gowda-Diday, De Baets et al., Malerba et al., Vladutu et al., and Ichino-Iyaghuchi. A paragraph is dedicated to the general algebraic structure; particularly to intervals and vector lattices in Banach space.

Year: 2007

description: We propose a new test for the simmetry hypothesis which is a combination of the sign statistic and the Wr Maesono statistic. The latter generalizes the Wilcoxon statistic and coincides with it for r = 2. The proposed statistic belongs to the class of non-degenerate U-statistics and hence it has asymptotically normal distribution. We calculate its Pitman efficacy and compare it with the t-test. For instance, in the normal case, for r=4, the new test, with respect t t-test, has a higher efficiency (0,9794) than the Wilcoxon test (0,9549). In the logistic case, G4 has a higher efficincy (1,0939) than the t-test.

description: This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean using the ratio and product methods when some observations in the sample data are missing at random and the population mean of the auxiliary characteristic is not known. Besides an unbiased estimator arising from the total discard of incomplete pairs of observations, four generally biased estimators are presented. The first two estimators arise form the partial utilization of data while the remaining two are based on full utilization. A comparative study of the efficiency properties of estimators is reported and the choice of estimators is discussed.

description: Estudo quantitativo, com abordagem exploratória e descritiva realizado com a contribuição de dez mulheres empreendedoras, donas de brechós. O objetivo do estudo busca analisar a sustentabilidade e a estratégia de empoderamento social dos modelos de negócios circulares do tipo brechó, identificando os aspectos do triple bottom line de negócios gerenciados por mulheres. Observou-se que 40% da amostra é constituída de mulheres entre 51 a 60 anos e 70% com ensino médio e casadas. Quanto aos aspectos Triple Bottom Line, o brechó diminui o consumo exacerbado de roupas estimulado pela economia linear, favorecendo o consumo consciente e o reaproveitamento das roupas, diminuindo a poluição do meio ambiente. No campo econômico, os brechós são uma ótima oportunidade de renda por oportunizarem a venda de peças únicas que valorizam a identidade visual de seus consumidores. No campo social, os brechós são meios de inserção ao trabalho para mulheres e promovem a acessibilidade de compra para população vulneráveis e carentes. Conclui-se que o modelo de negócio circular através do brechó é uma boa oportunidade de empoderamento social, pelas oportunidades e visibilidade de ocupar espaços dentro da sociedade, porém, seu principal obstáculo está ligado às desigualdades de gênero e a cultura do consumo.

Spatial correlation estimates based on satellite observations corrected with the prior knowledge on sensor devices' technical characteristics
Creators: name: Arbia, Giuseppe

Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2007

description: In many empirical studies spatial correlations are used to identify the distance above which dependency is negligible, to assist the choice in locating a systematic grid of sample points in ground surveys. However, estimates are undermined by the fact that our inference is based on satellite data that are only an approximation of the ground truth, due to the presence of a series of disturbing factors like (e.g.) light scattering, presence of obstacles (like clouds), and instrument precision limitations. In this paper we introduce a procedure to correct spatial correlation estimates using prior knowledge on the satellite sensor's technical characteristics and obtain more reliable estimates. We derive an approximation of the "ground-truth" pattern of correlation as a function of the satellite-based spatial correlation and of the sensor's (user-specified) technical characteristics. We show the effects of these corrections referring to a series of illustrative examples based on theoretical calculations regarding the negative exponential correlogram. The correction efficiency relative to the classical Method-of-Moments estimator is also assessed by means of a Monte Carlo application to simulated SAR maps.

Brazil

description: Brazil is the ninth largest economy in the world, yet its real potential has never been realised. Having had a strong period of economic growth from 2003 to shortly after the global financial crisis, the quality of life for millions of people was improved. Over the last 15 years or so, Brazil has experienced a major transformation. The country of almost 200 million people had high levels of inequality, yet managed to reduce poverty in a way not seen in many other parts of the world. Even the Asian powerhouses of China and India, with their incredible economic growth, had less success in this area. During the same period, Brazil managed to formalise the jobs of millions of Brazilians. This occurred because of economic expansion, income equalisation policies and a commodities boom. The net effect has been an increase in the middle class by 40 million people, or 20% of the population, in nearly ten years.
Politics of the Hood: An Analysis of Hip-Hop Lyricism

black history

description: Hip-hop is widely known today as an art form that serves as entertainment for the public, but below the surface, it served a deeper meaning for the black community. Hip-hop emerged from the youth of impoverished black neighborhoods during the 1970s as the community searched for an outlet for self-expression that did not result in real-life consequences. This project argues that Black people used the genre as a tool for documentation, organization, and self-expression in response to the war on drugs, the mass incarceration system, and other government systems that run based on structural racism. This research is based on secondary sources that provide a historical background of events, including the invention of massincarceration and the “War on Drugs,” which affected the Black community emotionally and socially during the beginning of hip-hop. It will also include an analysis of primary sources focusing on hip-hop and racial discrimination to contextualize the circumstances under which these artists created these songs. This study will also analyze specific songs, such as “Who Do You Believe In?” by Tupac, Public Enemy’s “Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos,” and Too $hort’s “The Ghetto,” to view how hip-hop artists used their art as a form of protest against racism in America.

description: Despite the promising benefits that ride-sharing offers, there has been a lack of research on the benefits of high-capacity ride-sharing services. Prior research has also overlooked the relationship between traffic volume and the degree of traffic congestion and emissions. To address these gaps, this study develops an open-source agent-based simulation platform and a heuristic algorithm to quantify the benefits of high-capacity ride-sharing with significantly lower computational costs. The simulation platform integrates a traffic emission model and a speed-density traffic flow model to characterise the interactions between traffic congestion levels and emissions. The experiment results demonstrate that ride-sharing with vehicle capacities of 2, 4, and 6 passengers can alleviate total traffic congestion by approximately 3%, 4%, and 5%, and reduce traffic emissions of a ride-sourcing system by approximately 30%, 45%, and 50%, respectively. This study can guide transportation network companies in designing and managing more efficient and environment-friendly mobility systems.

Se trata de una decisión que ha marcado una gran discusión en el ámbito académico y doctrinal, pues obliga a cuestionar los fundamentos mismos del acto administrativo y el papel de los recursos que el administrado tiene contra aquel de cara a los postulados constitucionales del debido proceso, el derecho de defensa y el acceso a la administración de justicia.
A new extension of dynamic simplex model for the public transport customer satisfaction
Creators: name: Bernini, C.
name: Lubisco, A.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: The dynamic analysis of Customer Satisfaction is particularly useful for monitoring either customer satisfaction over time or customer behaviour reaction to company strategies, and therefore for measuring their effectiveness and efficiency. In the paper we address the following questions: does the level of customer satisfaction change over time? If yes, which factors might explain these differences? Does customer expectation influence the overall satisfaction over time? In order to answer to these questions, we propose a new extended dynamic version of LISREL model and we evaluate its performance on pseudo-panel data, built on the Customer Satisfaction of Tram Surveys conducted by the Faculty of Statistical Sciences for the Tram Agency of public transport in Rimini in the period 2000 to 2004.

Effetti di persistenza in un modello disaggregato del prodotto in Italia
Creators: name: Centoni, M.
name: Zelli, R.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2007

description: This paper builds on recent works dealing with the measurement of the long-run response of output to system-wide shocks at a multisectoral level. The analysis is carried out at aggregate and sectoral level using a vector autoregression framework on Italian value added annual data from 1952 to 1997, disaggregated by eight sectors. The persistence is measured under models that impose simultaneously short-run common feature and long-run cointegration restrictions. Further, the paper examines the time profile of the persistent effect of shocks on the economy, the "persistence profiles", providing information on the speed of convergence to the new equilibrium.

An empirical study on new product development process by Nonparametric Combination (NPC) testing methodology and post- stratification
Creators: name: Corain, L.

Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2007

description: This paper explores through an empirical application of NonParametric Combination (NPC) testing methodology, the different behaviours that distinguish those firms that develop successful products from those that are less successful. The NonParametric Combination (NPC) of dependent permutation tests methodology, particularly useful with observational studies and in presence of non-normal and/or categorical data, consists of an innovative testing method that allows the researcher to go beyond some usual parametric testing constraints, such as the multivariate nature of most real problems and the relative small size of the available datasets, when sometimes the number of variables can be greater than the number of available observations.

description: In the literature there are several contributions to the construction of resolution V D-optimal designs when N_=2 mod 16 (Chadjiconstantinidis, Cheng and Moyssiadis, 1989). When N_=0 mod 4 Plackett and Burman (1946) constructed several designs of resolution III. This paper introduces a new characterization for the construction of resolution V design with N = 10, 12 observations. All non-equivalent designs for these number of runs are constructed.

Year: 2007

description: In this paper a new model validation procedure for a logistic regression model is presented. At first, we illustrate a brief review of different techniques of model validation. Next, we define a number of properties required for a model to be considered "good", and a number of quantitative performance measures. Lastly, we describe a methodology for the assessment of the performance of a given model by using an example taken from a management study.
