description: Housing mobility programs enable families living in high-poverty neighborhoods to relocate to lower-poverty neighborhoods using tenant-based subsidies. Recent research indicates that these programs improve participant outcomes on a number of economic and social outcomes. Can such programs be run at a scale sufficient to help a large proportion of eligible families? Would doing so change the character of lower-poverty neighborhoods or have other macro demographic or economic effects? This paper applies policy simulation to a stylized representation of a housing mobility program to give a sense of scale and proportion for what a “full scale” mobility program might entail. Results indicate that our system model reaches steady-state fairly quickly, that rates of concentrated poverty decrease more quickly than those for system-wide poverty, consistent with the notion of a housing mobility program as primarily a tool for poverty deconcentration. Destination communities absorb a substantial number of mobility in-movers without suffering substantial adverse demographic impacts, indicating that the “carrying capacity” of these communities may sufficient to support large-scale mobility initiatives. Middle-class flight per mobility family is moderately high and almost independent of housing mobility program intensity; selected sprawl-related social costs are relatively small. Sensitivity analyses show that the model behaves in predictable ways in response to changes to structural parameters. A “worst-case” scenario of parameter values still generates modest poverty reductions with moderate levels of poverty in destination communities but very high rates of middle-class “flight”.

description: Geometric variables naturally occurring in a time-like foliation of brane-worlds are introduced. These consist of the induced metric and two sets of lapse functions and shift vectors, supplemented by two sets of tensorial, vectorial and scalar variables arising as projections of the two extrinsic curvatures. A subset of these variables turn out to be dynamical. Brane-world gravitational dynamics is given as the time evolution of these variables.

description: Self Organizing Migrating Algorithm (SOMA) is a meta-heuristic algorithm based on the self-organizing behavior of individuals in a simulated social environment. SOMA performs iterative computations on a population of potential solutions in the given search space to obtain an optimal solution. In this paper, an Opportunistic Self Organizing Migrating Algorithm (OSOMA) has been proposed that introduces a novel strategy to generate perturbations effectively. This strategy allows the individual to span across more possible solutions and thus, is able to produce better solutions. A comprehensive analysis of OSOMA on multi-dimensional unconstrained benchmark test functions is performed. OSOMA is then applied to solve real-time Dynamic Traveling Salesman Problem (DTSP). The problem of real-time DTSP has been stipulated and simulated using real-time data from Google Maps with a varying cost-metric between any two cities. Although DTSP is a very common and intuitive model in the real world, its presence in literature is still very limited. OSOMA performs exceptionally well on the problems mentioned above. To substantiate this claim, the performance of OSOMA is compared with SOMA, Differential Evolution and Particle Swarm Optimization.

description: The shell model within the $2s1d0g_{7/2}0h_{11/2}$ shell is applied to calculate nuclear structure properties of the even Z=52 - 62, N=82 isotones. The results are compared with experimental data and with the results of a quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) calculation. The interaction used in these calculations is a realistic two-body G-matrix interaction derived from modern meson-exchange potential models for the nucleon-nucleon interaction. For the shell model all the two-body matrix elements are renormalized by the $\hat{Q}$-box method whereas for the QRPA the effective interaction is defined by the G-matrix.

description: Multiple-epoch, multicolor images of the astrometric binary Gliese 105A and its very low mass companion Gliese 105C have been obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). The optical and near-infrared colors of Gl 105C strongly suggest a spectral type of M7V for that star. Relative astrometric measurements spanning 3 yr reveal the first evidence of Gl 105C's orbital motion. Previous long-term astrometric studies at Sproul and McCormick Observatories have shown that the period of Gl 105A's perturbation is approximately 60 yr. To satisfy both the observed orbital motion and Gl 105A's astrometric period, Gl 105C's orbit must have an eccentricity of approximately 0.75 and a semimajor axis of approximately 15 AU. Measurements of Gl 105A's radial velocity over 12 yr show a linear trend with a slope of 11.3 m/s/yr, which is consistent with these orbital constraints and a nearly face-on orbit. As no other faint companions to Gl 105A have been detected, we conclude that Gl 105C is probably the source of the 60-yr astrometric perturbation.

description: Assisted housing counseling can enable clients to choose affordable housing in opportunity-rich communities. However, the quality of such services may vary widely. In this paper a framework is presented for developing a spatial decision support system (SDSS) for housing mobility counseling and present evidence regarding the capacity of assisted housing clients to make productive use of such a SDSS. It can be concluded that there are significant opportunities for, and social returns to, research on information technology-enabled housing and neighborhood choice.

We determine key properties such as the momentum transfer dependence of the sound velocity and of the acoustic damping, discussing the results in the general context of recently proposed pictures for acoustic dynamics in glasses. Specifically, we demonstrate the existence in this strong glass of well defined (in the Ioffe Regel sense) acoustic-like excitations well above the Boson Peak energy.

description: Building Energy Modeling (BEM) intends to quantify buildings’ energy performance to help designers and architects better understand the environmental impacts of their decisions. Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to a digital, model-based representation, where information about building design can be shared among different stakeholders and used during all stages of buildings’ lifecycle. The purpose of this research was to investigate integration of BEM and BIM, using two analysis tools. Green Building Studio (GBS) and Sefaira are two performance analysis software programs, which can be used both in the form of BIM plug-in/built-in tools, as well as web applications to analyze and quantify energy performance of buildings. To capture their level of integration with BIM, an existing Campus Recreation Building on UMass Amherst campus was used as a case study to evaluate modeling processes, requirements, and workflows. Comparative analysis between modeled and actual energy consumption data was also performed to analyze accuracy of the different simulation programs. This paper discusses each tool capabilities and drawbacks in providing accurate energy analysis procedures and results.

Attributes for a great requirements engineer

description: Requirements Engineering (RE) is a determinant of productivity and product quality. It is inherently complex due to influences from customer environment, making the requirements engineer a central role in software development processes. There are several studies investigating attributes of great software practitioners. Knowing them is essential to help make better software engineers. However, the investigation of such attributes is still missing in RE. We believe that the current knowledge on attributes of great software practitioners might not be easily translated to the context of RE because its activities are, usually, less technical and more human-centered than other software engineering activities. This work aims to investigate which are the attributes of great requirements engineers, the relationship between them, and which strategies can be employed to obtain these attributes. We follow a mixed-method approach composed of a survey with 18 practitioners and follow up interviews with eight of them. Investigative ability to talk to stakeholders, judicious, and understand the business are the most commonly mentioned attributes amongst the set of 22 attributes identified, which were grouped into four categories. We also found 31 strategies to improve RE skills. The attributes, their categories, and relationships are organized into a conceptual framework. The relations between attributes and strategies are represented in a Sankey diagram. Software practitioners can use our findings to improve their understanding about the role and responsibilities of requirements engineers.

We consider two field theories and derive a new BPS bound on composite linear solitons involving multiple charges. Among the BPS objects `supertubes' appear when the wall or string tension is canceled by the bound energy, and could take an arbitrary closed curve. In our theories, supertubes manifest as Chern-Simons solitons, dyonic instantons, charged semi-local vortices, and dyonic instantons on vortex flux sheet.

description: Psychological contracts theory is applied to the study of faculty-doctoral student collaborations. Through a survey of 170 doctoral students, four types of psychological contracts are investigated. The quality of collaboration and frequency of meetings are found to differ significantly across these contract types. In addition, quality of collaboration and meeting frequency varied significantly across collaborations using different research methods (e.g, laboratory work, theory building) and disciplinary paradigms (i.e., high and low consensus). A comparison sample of 46 faculty from the same departments supported several trends observed in the doctoral student data.

description: We address the problem of the lattice Stark shifts in the Sr clock caused by the multipolar $M1$ and $E2$ atom-field interactions and by the term nonlinear in lattice intensity and determined by the hyperpolarizability. We have developed an approach to calculate hyperpolarizabilities for atoms and ions based on a solution of the inhomogeneous equation which allows to effectively and accurately carry out complete summations over intermediate states. We applied our method to the calculation of the hyperpolarizabilities for the clock states in Sr. We also carried out an accurate calculation of the multipolar polarizabilities for these states at the magic frequency. Understanding these Stark shifts in optical lattice clocks is crucial for further improvement of the clock accuracy.

The pion-exchange together with heavier meson exchanges for the $ΛN \to N N $ transition is considered. The total nonmesonic decay rate is found to be 0.5% of the free $Λ$ decay rate. Integrated as well as differential decay rates are given. The p- and n- induced decays are discussed thoroughly and it is shown that the corresponding total rates cannot be measured individually.

description: We study the spiral arm morphology of a sample of the local spiral galaxies in the Illustris simulation and explore the supermassive black hole - galaxy connection beyond the bulge (e.g., spiral arm pitch angle, total stellar mass, dark matter mass, and total halo mass), finding good agreement with other theoretical studies and observational constraints. It is important to study the properties of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies through both observations and simulations and compare their results in order to understand their physics and formative histories.We find that Illustris prediction for supermassive black hole mass relative to pitch angle is in rather good agreement with observations and that barred and non-barred galaxies follow similar scaling relations. Our work shows that Illustris presents very tight correlations between supermassive black hole mass and large-scale properties of the host galaxy, not only for early-type galaxies but also low-mass, blue and star-forming galaxies. These tight relations beyond the bulge suggest that halo properties determine those of a disc galaxy and its supermassive black hole.

description: In a closed single-particle quantum system, spatial disorder induces Anderson localization of eigenstates and halts wave propagation. The phenomenon is vulnerable to interaction with environment and decoherence, that is believed to restore normal diffusion. We demonstrate that for a class of experimentally feasible non-Hermitian dissipators, which admit signatures of localization in asymptotic states, quantum particle opts between diffusive and ballistic regimes, depending on the phase parameter of dissipators, with sticking about localization centers. In diffusive regime, statistics of quantum jumps is non-Poissonian and has a power-law interval, a footprint of intermittent locking in Anderson modes. Ballistic propagation reflects dispersion of an ordered lattice and introduces a new timescale for jumps with non-monotonous probability distribution. Hermitian dephasing dissipation makes localization features vanish, and Poissonian jump statistics along with normal diffusion are recovered.

description: This paper develops dynamic optimal control model of a fashion designer's challenge of maintaining brand image in the face of short-term profit opportunities through expanded sales that risk brand dilution in the longer-run. The key state variable is the brand's reputation, and the key decision is sales volume. Depending on the brand's capacity to command higher prices, one of two regimes is observed. If the price mark-ups relative to production costs are modest, then the optimal solution may simply be to exploit whatever value can be derived from the brand in the short-run and retire the brand when that capacity is fully diluted. However, if the price markups are more substantial, then an existing brand should be preserved. It may even be worth incurring short-term losses while increasing the brand's reputation, even if starting a new brand name from scratch is not optimal.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct a family of semi-analytic models for young open clusters, including a gaseous component and varying assumptions about the distribution function for the stellar component. The parameters of these models are informed by observed open clusters and general theoretical considerations regarding cluster formation. We use this framework to estimate the fraction of the stellar component that remains gravitationally bound after the gaseous component disperses. The remaining stellar fraction is a smooth function of the star formation efficiency, and depends on the distribution function of the stars. We calculate the fraction of stars remaining for this class of open cluster models and provide fitting formulae for representative cases.

Plagiodera sublaevis

description: Remarks on Plagiodera sublaevisCHEN, 1934 P. sublaevis belongs to the species group characterized by a “fibula” shaped spermatheca and large eyes. The male type specimen, conserved in ZMHU, is not labelled “ sublaevis ” but “ laevipennis ”. The handwriting on the label of the specimen is that of S.H. CHEN, and the locality label says “Sawai”, which is the locality mentioned in the original description of the species. Last but not least the description made by CHEN corresponds perfectly to this specimen. Thus, we suggest that CHEN had a change of mind concerning the name of the new species, but did not change the label on the type specimen from “ laevipennis ” to “ sublaevis ”. This specimen has the eyes very large and very close together on the frons. Fig. 63 shows the median lobe of the aedeagus. The coloration is Chrome orange on the head and thorax, while the elytra and the ventral parts are ferrugineous with darker shading at the sides. The elytral punctures are very fine and scarce. The examined specimen identical is in all characters to P. samoana MAULIK, 1929. The type series of P. samoana is deposited in BMNH and has been studied by one of the authors (M.D.). Thus we propose a new synonymy: Plagiodera sublaevis CHEN, 1934 = P. samoana MAULIK, 1929 n. syn.

description: We present a model-dependent method to estimate the redshifts of three TeV BL Lac objects (BL Lacs) through fltting their (quasi-) simultaneous multi-waveband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) by one-zone leptonic synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model. Considering the impact of electron energy distributions (EEDs) on the results, we use three types of EEDs, such as the power-law EED with exponential cut-ofi (PLC), the log-parabola (PLLP) and the broken power-law (BPL) EEDs, to flt the SEDs. We also use a parameter fi to describe the uncertainties of the extragalactic background light (EBL) models, as in (Abdo et al. 2010b). We then use Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to explore multi-dimensional parameter space and obtain the uncertainties of the model parameters based on the observational data. We apply our method to obtain the redshifts of three TeV BL Lac objects in the marginalized 68% confldence, and flnd that the PLC EED does not flt the SEDs. For 3C66A, the redshift is 0.14 - 0.31 and 0.16 - 0.32 in the BPL and PLLP EEDs; for PKS1424+240, the redshift is 0.55 - 0.68 and 0.55 - 0.67 in the BPL and PLLP EEDs; for PG1553+113, the redshift is 0.22 - 0.48 and 0.22 - 0.39 in the BPL and PLLP EEDs. We also estimate the redshift of PKS1424+240 in the high stage to be 0.46 - 0.67 in the PLLP EED, roughly consistent with that in the low stage.

description: We demonstrate the equivalence of a Non--Markovian evolution equation with a linear memory--coupling and a Fokker--Planck equation (FPE). In case the feedback term offers a direct and permanent coupling of the current probability density to an initial distribution, the corresponding FPE offers a non-trivial drift term depending itself on the diffusion parameter. As the consequence the deterministic part of the underlying Langevin equation is likewise determined by the noise strength of the stochastic part. This memory induced stochastic behavior is discussed for different initial distributions. The analytical calculations are supported by numerical results.

description: We develop a dynamic optimal control model of a fashion designer's challenge of maintaining brand image in the face of short-term profit opportunities through expanded sales that risk brand dilution in the longer-run. The key state variable is the brand's reputation, and the key decision is sales volume. Depending on the brand's capacity to command higher prices, one of two regimes is observed. If the price mark-ups relative to production costs are modest, then the optimal solution may simply be to exploit whatever value can be derived from the brand in the short-run and retire the brand when that capacity is fully diluted. However, if the price markups are more substantial, then an existing brand should be preserved. It may even be worth incurring short-term losses while increasing the brand's reputation, even if starting a new brand name from scratch is not optimal.

description: As the focus of environmental engineering increasingly shifts to landscape-based, decentralized solutions to energy and water; and as architecture increasingly shifts its attention to resilience, ecological connectivity and independence from centralized infrastructure, these two disciplines find themselves closer in scale than before. This paper presents a collaborative project between upper level architecture and environmental engineering students focused on the design of sustainable and integrated water systems. Critical features of transdisciplinarity included: the engagement of stakeholders in the process at multiple moments; the speculative nature of working on very distant futures, the multi-scalar requirements of the collaboration, and the expectation of balancing quantitative and qualitative performance criteria. The curriculum was successful by many measures of work quality and impact. Students reflected on expectations and outcomes at two points of the semester, providing insights on challenges and opportunities. Relying on a shared responsibility for the project and well-aligned touchpoints, rather than daily- integrated studio-format, overcomes administrative constraints, but made misalignments more evident. While initially students had higher expectations of learning about the other discipline’s role than about their own, later results clearly show many more thought they had learned more about their own discipline, and expressed more confidence on their joint work. This is an encouraging finding about the power of transdisciplinary educational experiences.

description: We study a minimal model of U(N) gauged N=2 supergravity with one hypermultiplet parametrizing SO(4,1)/SO(4) quaternionic manifold. Local N=2 supersymmetry is known to be spontaneously broken to N=1 in the Higgs phase of U(1)_{graviphoton} \times U(1). Several properties are obtained of this model in the vacuum of unbroken SU(N) gauge group. In particular, we derive mass spectrum analogous to the rigid counterpart and put the entire effective potential on this vacuum in the standard superpotential form of N=1 supergravity.

description: If dark matter is composed of weakly interacting particles, Earth's orbital motion may induce a small annual variation in the rate at which these particles interact in a terrestrial detector. The DAMA collaboration has identified at a 9.3$σ$ confidence level such an annual modulation in their event rate over two detector iterations, DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA, each with $\sim7$ years of observations. We statistically examine the time dependence of the modulation amplitudes, which "by eye" appear to be decreasing with time in certain energy ranges. We perform a chi-squared goodness of fit test of the average modulation amplitudes measured\ by the two detector iterations which rejects the hypothesis of a consistent modulation amplitude at greater than 80\%, 96\%, and 99.6\% for the 2--4~keVee, 2--5~keVee and 2--6~keVee energy ranges, respectively. We also find that among the 14 annual cycles there are three $\gtrsim 3σ$ departures from the average in the 5-6~keVee energy range. In addition, we examined several phenomenological models for the time dependence of the modulation amplitude. Using a maximum likelihood test, we find that descriptions of the modulation amplitude as decreasing with time are preferred over a constant modulation amplitude at anywhere between 1$σ$ and 3$σ$, depending on the phenomenological model for the time dependence and the signal energy range considered. A time dependent modulation amplitude is not expected for a dark matter signal, at least for dark matter halo morphologies consistent with the DAMA signal. New data from DAMA/LIBRA--phase2 will certainly aid in determining whether any apparent time dependence is a real effect or a statistical fluctuation.

description: A simple optimal control model is introduced, where “bridge building” positions are rewarded. The optimal solutions can be classified in regards of the two extern parameters, (1) costs for the control staying at such an exposed position and (2) the discount rate. A complete analytical description of the bifurcation lines in parameter space is derived, which separates regions with different optimal behavior. These are resisting the influence from inner and outer forces, always fall off from the boundaries or decide based on one’s initial state. This latter case gives rise to the emergence of so-called Dechert-Nishimura-Skiba (DNS) points describing optimal solution strategies. Furthermore the bifurcation from a single DNS point into two DNS points has been analyzed in parameter space. All these strategies have a funded interpretation within the limits of the model.

description: We present evidence for unconventional superconducting fluctuations in a heavy-fermion compound CeNi$_2$Ge$_2$. The temperature dependence of the $^{73}$Ge nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation rate $1/T_1$ indicates the development of magnetic correlations and the formation of a Fermi-liquid state at temperatures lower than $T_{\rm FL}=0.4$ K, where $1/T_1T$ is constant. The resistance and $1/T_1T$ measured on an as-grown sample decrease below $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset} = 0.2$ K and $T_{\rm c}^{\rm NQR} = 0.1$ K, respectively; these are indicative of the onset of superconductivity. However, after annealing the sample to improve its quality, these superconducting signatures disappear. These results are consistent with the emergence of unconventional superconducting fluctuations in close proximity to a quantum critical point from the superconducting to the normal phase in CeNi$_2$Ge$_2$.

Plagiodera pallida

description: Remarks on Plagiodera pallidaBALY, 1867 During this study, one of the authors (M.D.) examined the female type of Plagiodera pallida. It is an immature specimen in an imperfect state of preservation, and labelled “ Amboina ”. Because of its fragility it was not appropriate to dissect it to study the genital apparatus. The coloration is uniformly Yellow Ochre and the elytral punctures are irregular with two short symmetrical calli at the sides of the scutellum. The lateral callus of the elytra is raised, the trapezoidal thorax has uniformly curved sides, the apex of the prosternal appendix is a regular trapezoid shape, and the mesosternum has a wide deep groove in the middle. The penultimate tarsal article is entire, the claws are simple. All these characters place the new species in to the genus Plagiosterna (= Linaeidea). Thus, we propose a new combination: Plagiosterna pallida (BALY, 1867) n. comb. Plagiosterna pallida is very similar to Plagiosterna (Xenolina) marginata JACOBY, 1904 from New Guinea which might be considered as a junior synonym.

description: The research focuses on the avian fauna within a 100-kilometer radius of the Kalaburagi region, including the KBN University campus in Kalaburagi city. The research location, Kalaburagi (Gulbarga) is 45 meters above sea level, between 170 ‘04 – 770 42’ longitudinal and 160 12’ – 170 46’ north latitude. Gulbarga experiences a semi-arid climate typical of the South Indian peninsula, with temperatures ranging from 140C to 450C from winter to summer and an average rainfall of 702 mm. The forest area in Gulbarga district covers 275 square miles, accounting for around 4% of the geographical location. The forests in the northeastern zone are mostly deciduous, with dense tree cover. The study aimed to determine and assess the species composition, relative abundance, and distribution of the region’s avifauna. The survey was conducted using the line and point transect approach. A total of 35 bird species were recognized, representing 8 orders and 20 families of the regional avifauna. The species were classified as resident, winter, and summer migratory. This study identified insectivorous, omnivorous, piscivorous, carnivorous, frugivorous, and granivorous birds.
title: Eduarda Mansilla’s Mestizo Argentina: Orphanhood, Transnationalism, and Race in Lucía Miranda (1860)
Creators: name: Moody, Sarah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: The first known writing of the Lucía Miranda legend, a story of Argentine national origins, dates to 1612 with a work by Spanish soldier Ruy Díaz de Guzmán. Though apparently fictional, the episode appears as a chapter in an otherwise fact-based account of early European activity in the River Plate region known as La Argentina manuscrita.1 Later writers reworked the legend in their own ways, adapting it to the circumstances of their own historical moment, but the consistent points of the storyline focus on irremediable interethnic conflict: Lucía was a young, virtuous Spanish woman who accompanied her husband on an early expedition to the area, around 1532; she is kidnapped by the indigenous people, whose chief falls in love with her; she and her husband refuse to renounce their marital vows and die tragically as martyrs to conjugal love. The legend, highlighting the exchange of women in what Mary Louise Pratt calls the “contact zone,” where two cultures meet in an unequal relationship of power, keeps the point of view firmly on the side of the white settlers and what they considered their moral imperative to colonize indigenous spaces.2 María Rosa Lojo points out that “[e]l relato atribuye las causas de la Guerra interétnica (guerra de conquista, por la ocupación de suelo) a la pelea entre varones por una mujer” (32).3 The legend also functions as an attempt at justification for white, creole society’s occupation of collectively-held indigenous lands, with women’s bodies standing in as a metaphor of the territory to be usurped and dominated.4
