description: An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model $ττ$ backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed $μμ$ events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb$^{-1}$.

description: We present the results of a multi-season field evaluation of a low-cost optical particle counting sensor (Purple Air PA-II) that reports mass concentration of particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), and is part of a relatively large and growing network of microelectronic internet-of-things sensors. We assessed 16 months of PA-II PM2.5 data collected in a near-road urban setting in the humid climate of Charlotte, North Carolina. The PA-II was collocated with a Federal Equivalent Method Beta Attenuation Monitor (BAM model 1022), and with a weather station that monitored ambient relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T). We tested and used a multiple linear regression model with BAM PM2.5, RH, and T as predictors to model the reported PA-II PM2.5. The results show a 27–57% improvement in the accuracy of the PA-II PM2.5 data relative to the reference data from the BAM, with the highest percentage improvements for moderate to high RH. The methodologies in our study are broadly applicable to other field studies of low-cost monitors, and the results are a critical improvement that suggest that PA-II may indeed be suitable for air quality, health, and urban aerosol research.

Patterns of Symptom Improvement among Depressed Adolescents treated with Interpersonal Psychotherapy Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) in School Based Clinics
Creators: Sinh, Vijayeta Kumari
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Subthreshold symptoms of depression (defined as symptoms that do not meet full criteria for the disorder) are a significant concern, associated with a range of behavioral and emotional problems, raising the risk of adolescents developing more severe depression later. Yet research on subthreshold depression is lacking, and the relationship between affective and somatic symptom improvement has not been adequately studied. Prior research with adult samples lend credence to the hypothesis that symptoms of mood/motivation respond faster to psychotherapy (Rush, Beck, Kovacs, Weissenburger, and Hollon, 1982) than pharmacotherapy with the opposite response for vegetative symptoms such as sleep and appetite (DiMascio, Weissman, Prusoff, and Neu 1979). The current study was built upon prior research that found Interpersonal Psychotherapy Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) to be an efficacious prevention intervention for adolescents with subthreshold depression, as compared to school counseling (Young, Mufson and Gallop, 2010). In this investigation, we sought to compare the trends in symptomatic improvement among 32 participants treated with IPT-AST over eight weeks. Clusters of mood/ motivation and vegetative symptoms were followed from baseline to the end of treatment. The results suggest that mood symptoms improved significantly before vegetative symptoms, within the first four weeks of preventive treatment. Significant improvement in vegetative symptoms was found to occur later between weeks 6 and 8. Thus adolescents receiving IPT-AST preventive treatment demonstrated faster reduction in mood/motivation symptoms than vegetative symptoms. Analyses revealed that fewer participants were identified as having not improved on the mood/motivation cluster than on the vegetative cluster indicating a better response for adolescents with mood symptoms than vegetative symptoms. Although, no relationships in improvements in mood/motivation and vegetative clusters were found controlling for baseline mood/motivation and vegetative symptoms; positive associations were found between cluster variables (mood, vegetative and total depression) over time. Gender was also not found to moderate the relationship between improvement on mood and vegetative symptoms over time indicating no significant differences in the improvement between males and females. Overall, findings from the current investigation strengthen the results from previous studies regarding the timeline of symptom improvement with IPT-AST.

We prove in the extremal limit that the black hole responds to the perturbation of each field in the same manner. We conjecture that we can match the modes of the graviton, gravitino and photon because of supersymmetry transformations.

description: Based on the case study of the mediation of the Polish-Lithuanian dispute from 1920 to 1923, this dissertation explores the League of Nations' emergence as an agency of modern territorial and ethnic conflict resolution. It argues that in many respects, this organization departed from prewar traditional diplomacy to establish a new, broader concept of security. At first the league tried simply to contain the Polish-Lithuanian conflict by appointing a Military Commission to assist these nations in fixing a final border. But the occupation of Vilna by Polish troops in October 1920 exacerbated Polish-Lithuanian relations, turning the initial border dispute into an ideological conflict over the ethnically mixed region of Vilna, claimed by the Poles on ethnic grounds while the Lithuanians considered it the historical capital of the modern Lithuanian state. The occupation spurred the league to greater involvement via administration of a plebiscite to decide the fate of the disputed territories. When this strategy failed, Geneva resorted to negotiating the so-called Hymans Plan, which aimed to create a Lithuanian federal state and establish political and economic cooperation between Poland and Lithuania. This analysis of the league's mediation of this dispute walks the reader through the league's organization of the first international peacekeeping operation, its handling of the challenges of open diplomacy, and its efforts to fulfill its ambitious mandate not just to prevent war but also to uproot its socioeconomic and ethnic causes. The Hymans Plan reflected this ambition as well as commitment to reconciling the tenets of balance of power and territorial status quo with the principle of self-determination and minorities' protection when drawing new boundaries and creating new states.

Soil bioengineering treatments for degraded riparian ecosystems
Creators: name: Polster, D. F.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Soil bioengineering is the use of living plant materials to perform some engineering function. Treatments have been developed to solve a variety of riparian problems. Soil bioengineering treatments are modelled on the natural processes that provide solutions to degraded riparian areas (Polster 2009). Plant species that will root readily from dormant stem cuttings are used. Willows (Salix spp.), some poplars (Populus spp.) and red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera) are commonly used in western North America. Live gravel bar staking can be used to stabilize excess sediment in streams and therefore speeds the process of pioneering vegetation establishing on gravel bars and starting the successional processes that eventually lead to productive riparian forests. Live bank protection provides an erosion-resistant face for eroding stream banks. As the plant materials used in the construction of live bank protection grow, the shoots from the new growth serve to slow near shore water velocities thus further reducing erosive forces and providing an opportunity for sediment in the water to be deposited. Live silt fences can be used in small ditches and drainages to slow flow velocities allowing sediment to drop out. As the plant materials used in the live silt fences sprout and grow, a wooded wetland is created that serves to capture sediment and address some pollutants that may be present. Wattle fences can be used to stabilize steep streambank slopes by creating small terraces on the slope. In addition to the growth of the cuttings used to construct the wattle fences, by stopping the constant movement of surface materials on over-steepened slopes, the wattle fences provide an opportunity for pioneering species to establish. Live pole drains can be used to address seepage areas on disturbed slopes, initiating the successional recovery of these unstable areas. Soil bioengineering methods can also be used to manage invasive species by providing successional advancement past the stagnant weedy stage. Creation of an instant canopy of woody species can suppress the growth of problem weeds such as reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and blackberry (Rubus discolor). Examples are drawn from the experience of the author.

Itaitubana Bechyné, 1963: 238
(type species Galerucella spinipennis Bowditch, 1923, by monotypy).
Remarks
This genus currently contains nine species, distributed from Mexico through much of South America. See Figs 26–27 and 222 for habitus illustrations and morphological details. However, the species are heterogeneous. Among other things, the tarsal claws are reported to be either bifid or appendiculate. Future investigation will likely reveal that some species need to be transferred to other genera. Beyond the claws, the relative lengths of the antennomeres also vary. Some workers have used the very long third antennomere as a diagnostic character for Itaitubana (e.g., Bechyné & Bechyné 1969). Indeed, we have employed this character in the following key. However, species such as I. alternata (Jacoby, 1886) do not have this characteristic. Future study may prove that they would be better placed in Caraguata.

description: Tidally disrupted globular cluster streams are usually observed, and therefore perceived, as narrow, linear and one-dimensional structures in the 6D phase-space. Here we show that the GD-1 stellar stream ($\approx$ 30 pc wide), which is the tidal debris of a disrupted globular cluster, possesses a secondary diffuse and extended stellar component ($\approx$ 100 pc wide) around it, detected at >5$σ$ confidence level. Similar morphological properties are seen in synthetic streams that are produced from star clusters that are formed within dark matter sub-halos and then accrete onto a massive host galaxy. This lends credence to the idea that the progenitor of the highly retrograde GD-1 stream was originally formed outside of the Milky Way in a now defunct dark satellite galaxy. We deem that in future studies, this newly found $cocoon$ component may serve as a structural hallmark to distinguish between the in-situ and ex-situ (accreted) formed globular cluster streams.

Complex Eigenvalues of the Parabolic Potential Barrier and Gel'fand Triplet

description: The paper deals with the one-dimensional parabolic potential barrier $V(x)={V_0-mγ^2 x^2/2}$, as a model of an unstable system in quantum mechanics. The time-independent Schrödinger equation for this model is set up as the eigenvalue problem in Gel'fand triplet and its exact solutions are expressed by generalized eigenfunctions belonging to complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0\mp i\Gammav_n}$ whose imaginary parts are quantized as ${\Gammav_n=(n+1/2)\hslashγ}$. Under the assumption that time factors of an unstable system are square integrable, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of them. This assumption leads to the separation of the domain of the time evolution, namely all the time factors belonging to the complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0-i\Gammav_n}$ exist on the future part and all those belonging to the complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0+i\Gammav_n}$ exist on the past part. In this model the physical energy distributions worked out from these time factors are found to be the Breit-Wigner resonance formulas. The half-widths of these physical energy distributions are determined by the imaginary parts of complex energy eigenvalues, and hence they are also quantized.

description: Oscillations of atomic nuclei in crystals are considered in this paper. It is shown that elastic nuclei oscillations relatively electron envelops (inherent, I-oscillations) and waves of such oscillations can exist in crystals at adiabatic condition. The types and energy quantums of I-oscillations for different atoms are determined. In this connection the adiabatic crystal model is offered. Each atom in the adiabatic model is submitted as I-oscillator whose stationary oscillatory terms are shown as deep energy levels in crystals. The I-oscillations can be created at the expense of recombination energy of electrons and holes on electron-vibrational centers in semiconductors. They interact among themselves, with phonons and electrons, they influence on physical properties of crystals and crystal structures. The I-oscillations representing oscillations of atomic nuclei relatively electron system in crystals or molecules are the important physical reality.

The fine-structure is a periodic function of the critical-separation $(p-p^*)$. We predict that the period $\varpi$ is {\it universal} and that it depends on the previous universal parameters, the critical exponent, $β$, and the echoing period $Δ$ as $\varpi = Δ/β$.

description: We address perfect discrimination of two separable states. When available states are restricted to separable states, we can theoretically consider a larger class of measurements than the class of measurements allowed in quantum theory. The framework composed of the class of separable states and the above extended class of measurements is a typical example of general probabilistic theories. In this framework, we give a necessary and sufficient condition to discriminate two separable pure states perfectly. In particular, we derive measurements explicitly to discriminate two separable pure states perfectly, and find that some non-orthogonal states are perfectly distinguishable. However, the above framework does not improve the capacity, namely, the maximum number of states that are simultaneously and perfectly distinguishable.

Peak Car and the Future of Urban Mobility. Exploring 21st century urban trends and their implications for the automotive industry.

description: For many decades, car manufacturers, urban planners and large parts of society saw the automobile as an integral part of modern life and it was the preferred mobility option for many people. It symbolized freedom, independence and liberation and has frequently been seen as a status symbol. Motorized vehicle travel has grown steadily over the past century but now has started to peak in most developed countries. Demographic changes and an ageing society, the rise of information and communication technologies, changing urban spatial patterns and increased urbanization, changing consumer preferences and fundamental shifts in urban social lifestyles are reducing demand for automobile travel. The question for the automotive industry therefore increasingly becomes one of defining its future role in the 21st century urban transportation.
This thesis aimed to explore current urban trends influencing our urban transportation systems. While current mobility issues were briefly looked at, the focus was on understanding urban trends influencing passenger transportation in developed countries. Recent answers and growth strategies of the car industry were mirrored against those trends to find potential shortcomings and mismatches. The research revealed that there is a certain disconnect between the urban trends and how car manufacturers are seeing and responding to the trends. Most of the urban trends described in this thesis were taken into consideration by the car manufacturers in some way. However, in most cases there has been a focus on a technological fix of the challenges and though there are certainly many synergies and advantages to explore through the employment of new technologies, it is most likely not the only answer. The car manufacturers seem to be whistling past the grave yard and are stuck in their need to defend the technologies they have invested in so much.
The thesis concludes with implications for the automotive industry as well as urban planners and policy makers and how they can respond to these changing urban trends. The author encourages a more multi-modal approach for our future urban transportation systems as well as more cooperative out-of-the-box thinking by both – private and public sectors.

description: For confining potentials of the form q(r)=r+p(r), where p(r) decays rapidly and is smooth for r>0, it is proved that q(r) can be uniquely recovered from the data {E_j,s_j}, where E_j are the bound states energies and s_j are the values of u'_j(0), and u_j(r) are the normalized eigenfunctions of the problem -u_j" +q(r)u_j=E_ju_j, r>0, u_j(0)=0, ||u_j||=1, where the norm is L^2(0, \infty) norm. An algorithm is given for recovery of p(r) from few experimental data.

description: We propose a robust approach for the registration of two sets of 3D points in the presence of a large amount of outliers. Our first contribution is to reformulate the registration problem using a Truncated Least Squares (TLS) cost that makes the estimation insensitive to a large fraction of spurious point-to-point correspondences. The second contribution is a general framework to decouple rotation, translation, and scale estimation, which allows solving in cascade for the three transformations. Since each subproblem (scale, rotation, and translation estimation) is still non-convex and combinatorial in nature, out third contribution is to show that (i) TLS scale and (component-wise) translation estimation can be solved exactly and in polynomial time via an adaptive voting scheme, (ii) TLS rotation estimation can be relaxed to a semidefinite program and the relaxation is tight in practice, even in the presence of an extreme amount of outliers. We validate the proposed algorithm, named TEASER (Truncated least squares Estimation And SEmidefinite Relaxation), in standard registration benchmarks showing that the algorithm outperforms RANSAC and robust local optimization techniques, and favorably compares with Branch-and-Bound methods, while being a polynomial-time algorithm. TEASER can tolerate up to 99% outliers and returns highly-accurate solutions.

Penalized Joint Maximum Likelihood Estimation Applied to Two Parameter Logistic Item Response Models
Creators: Paolino, Jon-Paul Noel
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Item response theory (IRT) models are a conventional tool for analyzing both small scale and large scale educational data sets, and they are also used for the development of high-stakes tests such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). When estimating these models it is imperative that the data set includes many more examinees than items, which is a similar requirement in regression modeling where many more observations than variables are needed. If this requirement has not been met the analysis will yield meaningless results. Recently, penalized estimation methods have been developed to analyze data sets that may include more variables than observations. The main focus of this study was to apply LASSO and ridge regression penalization techniques to IRT models in order to better estimate model parameters. The results of our simulations showed that this new estimation procedure called penalized joint maximum likelihood estimation provided meaningful estimates when IRT data sets included more items than examinees when traditional Bayesian estimation and marginal maximum likelihood methods were not appropriate. However, when the IRT datasets contained more examinees than items Bayesian estimation clearly outperformed both penalized joint maximum likelihood estimation and marginal maximum likelihood.

description: In this article we describe an efficient approximation of the stochastic Galerkin matrix which stems from a stationary diffusion equation. The uncertain permeability coefficient is assumed to be a log-normal random field with given covariance and mean functions. The approximation is done in the canonical tensor format and then compared numerically with the tensor train and hierarchical tensor formats. It will be shown that under additional assumptions the approximation error depends only on smoothness of the covariance function and does not depend either on the number of random variables nor the degree of the multivariate Hermite polynomials.

Wildlife mitigation burn monitoring program at Teck Coal Limited - Fording River Operations

description: In 1997, Fording River Operations (FRO) implemented a prescribed–burn program with the objective of mitigating the effects of ungulate habitat loss due to mine expansion. Fording River personnel, in consultation with the British Columbia Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection, identified six mitigation burn areas totaling 460.0 hectares (ha) of habitat improvement. The objective of the mitigation burns was to increase wildlife habitat suitability and to provide winter habitat for elk and moose. Each of the treatment areas was subjected to a similar prescribed burn. A monitoring program was established in 1998 to evaluate the results of the prescribed burns in terms of forest cover, forage production, and wildlife utilization. The effects of the prescribed burn treatments on forest cover were evaluated with pre-burn and post-burn aerial photographs. A total of 36 transects were located in paired burned and unburned habitats. Vegetation, wildlife use, and standing crop production (production clip) data were collected at each transect. The monitoring program operated from 1998 to 2007. In general, the prescribed mitigation burns were successful. Although variable between treatment areas and years, standing crop production measurements showed consistently that forage production and, consequently, Animal Unit Months (AUMs) were greater within the burn treatment areas compared with non-burned areas. The increased cover of palatable grasses and forbs was particularly beneficial for the enhancement of elk winter range. Canopy reduction ranged from 10% to 60% within the off-site burned areas. The prescribed burns also altered species dominance and stand structure. Signs of habitat use (i.e., evidence of browsing/grazing and pellet groups) indicated that elk and mule deer continued to use the burned sites preferentially during the monitoring period.
Pedagogy for Latino/a Newcomer Students: A Study of Four Secondary Social Studies Teachers in New York City Urban Newcomer Schools

description: This dissertation study examined how teachers in four newcomer schools conceptualized and implemented social studies education for newcomer Latino/a youth. I designed this multi-site, collective case study to examine the perspectives and decision making of four social studies teachers' enacted pedagogy for Latino/a newcomer students. I documented how social studies teachers (U.S. History and Global History) were teaching Latino/a newcomer youth within urban newcomer high schools through the research question: how do four secondary teachers conceptualize and implement social studies education for newcomer Latino/a youth? As evidenced in their culturally and linguistically relevant pedagogy, teachers in this study provided constant support, encouragement, and opportunity for Latino/a newcomer students to succeed academically, and encouraged active civic engagement by using students' cultural, linguistic, and civic knowledge and experiences as central to their pedagogy. I analyzed the findings within and across four case studies to develop an emerging grounded theory of culturally and linguistically relevant citizenship education. This developing grounded theory analyzed the intersections of culturally relevant pedagogy, linguistically responsive teaching, and active and engaged citizenship. These intersections and cross-case analysis of the four teachers' social studies pedagogy for newcomer Latino/a students developed five principles of culturally and linguistically relevant citizenship education. These principles included: pedagogy of community, pedagogy of success, pedagogy of making cross-cultural connections, pedagogy of building a language of social studies, and pedagogy of community-based, participatory citizenship. This study has the potential to add to and expand on the discourse regarding social studies pedagogy for culturally and linguistically diverse students (Ladson-Billings, 1995b; Lucas and Villegas, 2011), newcomer schools (Short and Boyson, 2000), English Language Learners (Cruz and Thornton, 2009), and citizenship education for newcomer youth (Salinas, 2006). Possibilities for future research might include examining how Latino/a immigrant students' cultural and linguistic experiences influence their perceptions of social studies and how they conceptualize citizenship. Furthermore, additional research might also explore how the findings in this study may be used to develop a more culturally and linguistically responsive teacher education program, create professional development opportunities for in-service teachers, and examine how elementary teachers and teachers in rural/suburban contexts conceptualize their social studies pedagogy for immigrant youth.
