description: This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring during lot maintenance activities. The project involved the removal of weeds using hula hoes and an electric weed trimmer and the raking of leaves. Ground disturbance was limited to the crushed landscaping granite previously placed on the surface. As the property is located within the 50-ft buffer zone of a projected alignment of an unnamed prehistoric canal, LSD was requested to monitor ground disturbing activities. No artifacts or features were observed during monitoring.

description: A multiband CuO Hubbard model is studied which incorporates long-range (LR) repulsive Coulomb interactions. In the atomic limit, it is shown that a charge-transfer from copper to oxygen ions occurs as the strength of the LR interaction is increased. The regime of phase separation becomes unstable, and is replaced by a uniform state with doubly occupied oxygens. As the holes become mobile a superfluid condensate is formed, as suggested by a numerical analysis of pairing correlation functions and flux quantization. Although most of the calculations are carried out on one dimensional chains, it is

description: Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected by the hierarchical galaxy formation model in $Λ$CDM cosmology. There is some evidence in the literature for SMBHBs in AGNs, but there are few observational constraints on the evolution of SMBHBs in inactive galaxies and gas-poor mergers. On the theoretical front, it is unclear how long is needed for a SMBHB in a typical galaxy to coalesce. In this paper we investigate the tidal interaction between stars and binary BHs and calculate the tidal disruption rates of stellar objects by the BH components of binary. We derive the interaction cross sections between SMBHBs and stars from intensive numerical scattering experiments with particle number $\sim10^7$ and calculate the tidal disruption rates by both single and binary BHs for a sample of realistic galaxy models, taking into account the general relativistic effect and the loss cone refilling because of two-body interaction. We estimate the frequency of tidal flares for different types of galaxies using the BH mass function in the literature. We find that because of the three-body slingshot effect, the tidal disruption rate in SMBHB system is more than one order of magnitude smaller than that in single SMBH system. The difference is more significant in less massive galaxies and does not depend on detailed stellar dynamical processes. Our calculations suggest that comparisons of the calculated tidal disruption rates for both single and binary BHs and the surveys of X-ray or UV flares at galactic centers could tell us whether most SMBHs in nearby galaxies are single and whether the SMBHBs formed in gas-poor galaxy mergers coalesce rapidly.

description: Natural plant extracts have gained significant attention in research due to their low toxicity, and potent antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. The present study investigated the phytochemical composition of a fermented rose extract (FRE), and evaluated its antioxidant, skin whitening, and anti-aging activities in vitro. The results showed that the FRE was rich in polyphenols and flavonoids. A total of 13 major compounds were identified by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), with astragalin as the primary component. In vitro, analysis of antioxidant activity showed that FRE effectively eliminated 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals and dose-dependent reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The FRE dose-dependent inhibited tyrosinase, collagenase, and hyaluronidase activity, reduced intracellular melanin synthesis, up-regulated the expression of collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) and collagen type III alpha 1 (COL3A1), and down-regulated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) expression. Additionally, treatment with FRE significantly downregulated the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), suggesting that FRE may modulate MAPK signaling pathways for skin anti-aging.
Go & Make Disciples : A Communication Strategy For Educating & Engaging a Church Community in Missions Outreach
Creators: name: Hammond, Robyn
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Design

description: Communicating information is essential for bringing about changes in existing perceptions, helping people learn, and issuing a call to action. Within a church community, though, these actions are often hindered by the transmission of information that is haphazardly planned, inconsistent across mediums, and that fails to inform the recipients of the communication in a way that helps them take action. The field of missions outreach is one specific area that suffers from a lack of attention and participation, a problem that is directly related to the way that information is communicated and then perceived. In order to educate, engage, and increase the total participation of a church community in missions outreach, I conducted a research study that employed human-centered design research methods to explore the current state of missions communication and to develop concepts for design interventions that improve the way that information about missions outreach is communicated. In the end, I designed a cohesive system of communication pieces and methods of delivery that rely on a set of fundamental design principles to effectively communicate the message of missions outreach and facilitate participation. This solution will ideally produce a well-informed church body that is motivated and empowered to take action to serve outside the walls of the church. In addition, many other churches and service organizations should be able to benefit from more effective outreach and stronger communities as a result of employing this flexible communication framework to educate and engage their members.
Appearances can be deceiving: clear signs of accretion in the seemingly ordinary Sextans dSph

description: We report the discovery of clear observational signs of past accretion/merger events in one of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, the Sextans dwarf spheroidal (dSph). These were uncovered in the spatial distribution, internal kinematics and metallicity properties of Sextans stars using literature CTIO/DECam photometric and Magellan/MMFS spectroscopic catalogues. We find the spatial distribution of stars to vary as a function of the colour/metallicity, being rather regular and round for the blue (metal-poor) red giant branch and main-sequence turn-off stars but much more elliptical and irregularly shaped for the red (metal-rich) ones, with a distinct "shell-like" overdensity in the northeast side. We also detect kinematic anomalies, in the form of a "ring-like" feature with a considerably larger systemic line-of-sight velocity and lower metallicity than the rest of stars; even the photometrically selected component with a regular looking spatial distribution displays complex kinematics. With a stellar mass of just $\sim5\times10^{5} M_{\odot}$, Sextans becomes the smallest galaxy presenting clear observational signs of accretion to date.

description: Throughout Ariel Rene Jackson's family's history, land has been both a permanent reminder of systemic racism and temporal unfolding of possible transformations and outcomes based on individual and communal actions. Material remnants of a legacy of farming and traditions of black epistemology throughout the diaspora functions as a guide to sourcing materials and research. Jackson often uses installation to situate her practice into ideas of spatial matters as black matters understanding landscape as palimpsest, something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form. Jackson's installations incorporate physical, virtual, and aural elements. Jackson often encases found objects, embeds molds of material archives, and enlarge communal structures using naturally ephemeral materials like soil, clay, and chalk. Performance for Jackson is an opportunity to collaborate or engage with video projection, thinking of the body as both virtual and physical. In different and at times concurrent moments the body, materials, and objects become themselves and leave traces of themselves in Jackson's landscape(s)
Cosmogony of Generic Structures

description: The problem of formation of generic structures in the Universe is addressed, whereby first the kinematics of inertial continua for coherent initial data is considered. The generalization to self--gravitating continua is outlined focused on the classification problem of singularities and metamorphoses arising in the density field. Self--gravity gives rise to an internal hierarchy of structures, and, dropping the assumption of coherence, also to an external hierarchy of structures dependent on the initial power spectrum of fluctuations.

description: We work out a non-trivial example of lifting a so-called weak eigenform to a true, characteristic 0 eigenform. The weak eigenform is closely related to Ramanujan's tau function whereas the characteristic 0 eigenform is attached to an elliptic curve defined over ${\mathbb Q}$. We produce the lift by showing that the coefficients of the initial, weak eigenform (almost all) occur as traces of Frobenii in the Galois representation on the 4-torsion of the elliptic curve. The example is remarkable as the initial form is known not to be liftable to any characteristic 0 eigenform of level 1. We use this example as illustrating certain questions that have arisen lately in the theory of modular forms modulo prime powers. We give a brief survey of those questions.

For smooth non-singular Fermi liquid interactions we obtain Shankar's renormalization- group flows and reproduce well known results for quasi-particle lifetimes. We demonstrate by explicit calculation that spin-charge separation does not occur when the Fermi liquid interactions are regular. We also explore the relationship between quantized bosonic excitations and zero sound modes and present a concise derivation of both the spin and the charge collective mode equations. Finally we discuss some aspects of singular Fermi liquid interactions.

Subjects: subject: 120199 Architecture not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Computational design is often depicted as an instrument for analysis or production, but it is also a space in which to explore and create new ways of working and thinking. This thesis explores how, through critically engaged practice, designers working computationally are uniquely able to envision and work toward desirable futures, challenging a techno-utopian status quo and projecting humane alternatives. What computational design methods, approaches, and strategies can help to bring about these desirable futures? Through primary research involving interviews with computational design practitioners, developing interactive software prototypes as investigative tools, and conducting design workshops, I investigate various modes of working computationally. Building on this research, I propose a three-part framework that synthesizes high-level approaches to computational design work. The first component, generating, reveals how computation enables the designer to work at various levels of abstraction, navigating large possibility spaces. The second, simulating, provides a frame for envisioning and modeling potential interventions in complex systems. Finally, interrogating, drawing from both Schön’s ‘reflective practice’ and Wark’s ‘hacker ethos,’ encourages computational designers to critically question their tools and practices in order to discover new ways of working and thinking. I conclude by discussing potential embodiments of this framework in computational design education.

We show that these interferometers, combined with the measurement of the number of particles in each output port, provide an ultra-high phase sensitivity. We construct effective two-mode interferometers which involve two Zeeman modes showing that they also provide an ultra-high phase sensitivity but of a bit reduced factor in the corresponding Fisher information. A special case of zero magnetization is shown to persist the efficiency of the two-mode interferometry.

description: In optical dipole traps, the excited rotational states of a molecule may experience a very different light shift than the ground state. For particles with two polarizability components (parallel and perpendicular), such as linear $^1Σ$ molecules, the differential shift can be nulled by choice of elliptical polarization. When one component of the polarization vector is $\pm i\sqrt{2}$ times the orthogonal component, the light shift for a sublevel of excited rotational states approaches that of the ground state at high optical intensity. In this case, fluctuating trap intensity need not limit coherence between ground and excited rotational states.

Supervision Beyond Manual Annotations for Learning Visual Representations
Creators: name: Doersch, Carl
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: 170203 Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: For both humans and machines, understanding the visual world requires relating new percepts with past experience. We argue that a good visual representation for an image should encode what makes it similar to other images, enabling the recall of associated experiences. Current machine implementations of visual representations can capture some aspects of similarity, but fall far short of human ability overall. Even if one explicitly labels objects in millions of images to tell the computer what should be considered similar—a very expensive procedure—the labels still do not capture everything that might be relevant. This thesis shows that one can often train a representation which captures similarity beyond what is labeled in a given dataset. That means we can begin with a dataset that has uninteresting labels, or no labels at all, and still build a useful representation. To do this, we propose to using pretext tasks: tasks that are not useful in and of themselves, but serve as an excuse to learn a more general-purpose representation. The labels for a pretext task can be inexpensive or even free. Furthermore, since this approach assumes training labels differ from the desired outputs, it can handle output spaces where the correct answer is ambiguous, and therefore impossible to annotate by hand. The thesis explores two broad classes of supervision. The first isweak image-level supervision, which is exploited to train mid-level discriminative patch classifiers. For example, given a dataset of street-level imagery labeled only with GPS coordinates, patch classifiers are trained to differentiate one specific geographical region (e.g. the city of Paris) from others. The resulting classifiers each automatically collect and associate a set of patches which all depict the same distinctive architectural element. In this way, we can learn to detect elements like balconies, signs, and lamps without annotations. The second type of supervision requires no information about images other than the pixels themselves. Instead, the algorithm is trained to predict the context around image patches. The context serves as a sort of weak label: to predict well, the algorithm must associate similar-looking patches which also have similar contexts. After training, the feature representation learned using this within-image context indeed captures visual similarity across images, which ultimately makes it useful for real tasks like object detection and geometry estimation.

description: Effective field theories encode the predictions of a quantum field theory at low energy. The effective theory has a fairly low ultraviolet cutoff. As a result, loop corrections are small, at least if the effective action contains a term which is quadratic in the fields, and physical predictions can be read straight from the effective Lagrangean. Methods will be discussed how to compute an effective low energy action from a given fundamental action, either analytically or numerically, or by a combination of both methods. Basically,the idea is to integrate out the high frequency components of fields. This requires the choice of a "blockspin",i.e. the specification of a low frequency field as a function of the fundamental fields. These blockspins will be the fields of the effective field theory. The blockspin need not be a field of the same type as one of the fundamental fields, and it may be composite. Special features of blockspins in nonabelian gauge theories will be discussed in some detail. In analytical work and in multigrid updating schemes one needs interpolation kernels $\A$ from coarse to fine grid in addition to the averaging kernels $C$ which determines the blockspin. A neural net strategy for finding optimal kernels is presented. Numerical methods are applicable to obtain actions of effective theories on lattices of finite volume. The constraint effective potential) is of particular interest. In a Higgs model it yields the free energy, considered as a function of a gauge covariant magnetization. Its shape determines the phase structure of the theory. Its loop expansion with and without gauge fields can be used to determine finite size corrections to numerical data.

description: Gravitational wave (GW) ringdown waveforms may contain "echoes" that encode new physics in the strong gravity regime. It is commonly assumed that the new physics gives rise to the GW echoes whose intervals are constant. We point out that this assumption is not always applicable. In particular, if the post-merger object is initially a wormhole, which slowly pinches off and eventually collapses into a black hole, the late-time ringdown waveform exhibit a series of echoes whose intervals are increasing with time. We also assess how this affects the ability of Advanced LIGO/Virgo to detect these new signals.

description: Clusters of galaxies are sites of acceleration of charged particles and sources of non-thermal radiation. We report on new constraints on the population of cosmic rays in the Intra Cluster Medium (ICM) obtained via radio observations of a fairly large sample of massive, X-ray luminous, galaxy clusters in the redshift interval 0.2--0.4. The bulk of the observed galaxy clusters does not show any hint of Mpc scale synchrotron radio emission at the cluster center (Radio Halo). We obtained solid upper limits to the diffuse radio emission and discuss their implications for the models for the origin of Radio Halos. Our measurements allow us to derive also a limit to the content of cosmic ray protons in the ICM. Assuming spectral indices of these protons delta =2.1-2.4 and microG level magnetic fields, as from Rotation Measures, these limits are one order of magnitude deeper than present EGRET upper limits, while they are less stringent for steeper spectra and lower magnetic fields.

description: The aims of this paper are two. The first is to give a brief review of the most relevant theoretical results concerning the uniqueness of the steady-state solution of the Lindblad-Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan master equation and the criteria which guarantee relaxingness and irreducibility of dynamical semigroups. In particular, we test and discuss their physical meaning by considering their applicability to the characterisation of the simplest open quantum system \emph{i.e.} a two-level system coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators at zero temperature. The second aim is to provide a set of sufficient conditions which guarantees the uniqueness of the steady-state solution and its attractivity. Starting from simple assumptions, we derive simple criteria that can be efficiently exploited to characterise the behavior of dissipative systems of spins and bosons (with truncated Fock space), and a wide variety of other open quantum systems recently studied.

Futuring with Downsizers: A Framework for Working with Transitions
Creators: name: Otto, Lisa
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Design

description: The issue of downsizing is becoming more prevalent as the population ages. While most people consider the process to be about reducing the number of possessions and space, for many downsizers the process, at its core, is about matching their space and possessions with their changing lifestyle. With children out of the home and health changes on the horizon, downsizers are considering how their homes can support their changing lives. Existing tools around the downsizing process focus on helping downsizers pare down their possessions more quickly and efficiently. They don’t consider the downsizing process as a moment to explore possible futures. However, this moment is ripe for futuring as downsizers try to match their things, environment, and practices with their changing circumstances. My thesis involved secondary research focused on practice-oriented design as well primary research with a small group of downsizers who were in the process of downsizing. The culmination of the thesis is a self-guided toolkit for downsizers that provides a framework for thinking through challenging choices that they encounter during the process. The toolkit provides methods for thinking more expansively about the process.

description: Abstract

Objective - The objective of the study is to investigate the mediating role of emotional regulation in the relationship of moral disengagement and psychological well-being among the adults. Material and Methods-The sample of study was (n=550) university students and they were selected through purposive sampling technique. The age range of participants was from 18 to 25 years. Urdu version of Moral disengagement scale for adults, Emotional regulation scale and Psychological wellbeing scale were administered for the data collection. Results-Hayes Process version 4 mediation analysis revealed the significant negative direct effect of moral disengagement on psychological wellbeing and emotional regulation. Further, a significant indirect effect of moral disengagement B (-0.312, p<.001) on psychological wellbeing through emotional regulation was appeared which confirmed the partial mediation of emotional regulation. Conclusion- It is concluded that moral disengagement has a decreased negative impact on psychological wellbeing through emotional regulation. Emotional regulation has a positive impact on psychological wellbeing as a mediator even in the presence of moral disengagement.

description: We present stellar yields computed from detailed models of intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch stars of low metallicity. In this work, the whole main microphysics inputs have been updated, and in particular alpha-enhancement is explicitly taken into account both in the opacities and equation of state. The target of this work is to provide a basis to test the reliability of the AGB self-enrichment scenario for Globular Clusters of intermediate metallicity. These Globular Clusters exhibit well defined abundance patterns, which have often been interpreted as a consequence of the pollution of the interstellar medium by the ejecta of massive AGBs. We calculated a grid of intermediate mass models with metallicity Z=0.001; the evolutionary sequences are followed from the pre-Main sequence along the whole AGB phase. We focus our attention on those elements largely studied in the spectroscopic investigations of Globular Clusters stars, i.e. oxygen, sodium, aluminum, magnesium and fluorine.} The predictions of our models show an encouraging agreement with the demand of the self-enrichment scenario for what concerns the abundances of oxygen, aluminum, fluorine and magnesium. The question of sodium is more tricky, due to the large uncertainties of the cross-sections of the Ne-Na cycle. The present results show that only a relatively small range of initial masses (M=5,6 solar masses) can be responsible for the self enrichment.

description: We propose a class of mean-field models for the isostatic transition of systems of soft spheres, in which the contact network is modeled as a random graph and each contact is associated to $d$ degrees of freedom. We study such models in the hypostatic, isostatic, and hyperstatic regimes. The density of states is evaluated by both the cavity method and exact diagonalization of the dynamical matrix. We show that the model correctly reproduces the main features of the density of states of real packings and, moreover, it predicts the presence of localized modes near the lower band edge. Finally, the behavior of the density of states $D(ω)\simω^α$ for $ω\to 0$ in the hyperstatic regime is studied. We find that the model predicts a nontrivial dependence of $α$ on the details of the coordination distribution.

title: Art-ificial: The Philosophy of AI Art
Creators: name: Helliwell, Alice Courtney
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: This thesis aims to contribute to a novel area of philosophical work: the philosophy of AI art. AI art is proliferating online and increasingly in the world of art. The growing presence of works made by (or with) artificial intelligence has led to a clamour of questions such as 'Is AI art really art?' and 'can AI be truly creative?'. As yet, these questions have barely been tackled in the philosophical literature, especially in aesthetics. This thesis aims to address this gap.
This thesis starts by establishing what we mean by 'AI art' by examining examples of AI works and the technological underpinnings of these systems. Existing work on the topic of AI art is explicated. In particular, Mark Coeckelbergh's three questions on AI art scaffold the first three chapters of the thesis: 'can machines create art?', 'can machines create art?' and 'can machines create art?'
Chapter 1 aims to answer the question of whether AI can make art through the evaluation of AI works against three definitions of art: the institutional account, the historical account, and the cluster account. Chapter 2 focusses on the question of whether AI can be creative. Three accounts of creativity are utilised: a Darwinian theory of creativity, Margaret Boden's account of creativity, and Berys Gaut's agential account of creativity. It is argued that some AI systems can meet the requirements of each of these, aside from Gaut's necessary criterion of agency. After chapters 1 and 2, questions about the limitations of AI systems in meeting the requirements of different accounts of art and creativity remain; chapter 3 aims to address some of these. The possibility of AI (extended) mind is investigated, followed by AI embodiment. Finally, an argument for the possibility of AI agency is put forward. This minimal account of agency allows for the possibility of AI creativity under the agential account.
The latter part of this thesis begins with chapter 4, which examines the possibility that AI systems will not share aesthetic or artistic values with humans, and whether this is cause for concern. Finally, Chapter 5 examines two qualities of AI images: weirdness and convincingness, showing that AI art can offer interesting aesthetic qualities worthy of investigation. Through this thesis, I put forward a first step in developing a philosophy of AI art.
Polaronic Self-Localization Effects in the Three Band Peierls Hubbard Model

description: We have studied the three-band Peierls-Hubbard model describing the Cu-O layers in high-T$_c$ superconductors by using Lanczos diagonalization and assuming infinite mass for the ions. When the system is doped with one hole, and when the electron-lattice coupling is greater than a critical value, we found that the oxygens around one Cu contract and the hole self-traps forming a lattice and electronic small polaron. The self-trapped hole forms a local singlet analogous to the Zhang-Rice singlet in the undeformed lattice. We also studied the single-particle spectral function and the optical conductivity. We have found that the spectral weight, in general, is similar to that found in previous studies where the coupling with the lattice was absent. There is an anomalous transfer of spectral but, contrary to those studies, it goes to these localized polaronic states. However, this polaronic shift does not seem enough by itself to explain the pinning of the chemical potential observed in real materials. We compare our results to those obtained in inhomogeneous Hartree-Fock calculations and we discuss their relation with experiments.

Experience-dependent synaptic changes in the visual cortex in health and disease

description: This study examines how visual experience impacts neural connectivity and synchrony in typical mice versus those with Fragile X syndrome (FX), a common form of inherited autism characterized by sensory sensitivity, learning challenges, and intellectual disability. Visual stimuli typically evoke synchronized theta oscillations in two brain regions V1 and LM, that help integrate sensory information. In mice with FX, however, these oscillations are weakened, reflecting impaired connectivity and plasticity between V1 and LM. Using advanced imaging and recordings, the study finds that while visual experience strengthens functional connections and dendritic spine structure in typical mice, FX mice show abnormal spine density and length but do not respond adaptively to experience. These findings offer new insights into how visual experience shapes brain connectivity in both typical and FX conditions.

description: Truncating quantum field theories to a dominant mode offers a non-perturbative approach to their solution. We consider here the interaction of charged scalar matter with a single mode of the electromagnetic field. The implied breaking of explicit Lorentz invariance prompts us to compare instant-form quantisation and front-form, with the latter yielding significant simplifications when light-front zero modes are included. Using these field theory results we reassess the validity of existing first-quantised approaches to depletion effects in strong laser fields, and propose an alternative interpretation based on the dressing approach to QED and its infra-red structure.

Axisymmetric galaxy models wth central BHs, with an application to M32

description: The contour integral method of Hunter & Qian is applied to axisymmetric galaxy models in which the distribution function (DF) is of the form f=f(E,L_z), where E and L_z are the classical integrals of motion in an axisymmetric potential. A practical way to construct the unique even part of the DF for such systems is presented. It is applied to models, both oblate and prolate, in which the mass density is stratified on similar concentric spheroids. The spheroids with scale-free densities are discussed in detail. These provide useful approximations to the behaviour of more realistic models in the limit of small and large radii. The self-consistent case is treated, as well as the case in which there are additional contributions to the potential from a central black hole or dark halo. The range of axis ratios and density profile slopes is determined for which spheroidal power--law cusps with a central black hole have a physical two--integral DF. More generally, the f(E,L_z) DFs are discussed for a set of spheroidal `(alpha,beta)-models', characterized by a power-law density cusp with slope alpha at small radii, and a power-law density fall-off with slope [alpha + 2 beta] at large radii. As an application, the DF is constructed for the (alpha,beta) model with a 1.8 x 10^6 solar mass black hole used by van der Marel et al. to interpret their high spatial resolution spectroscopic data for M32. The results confirm that the model fits the observed line-of-sight velocity profiles remarkably well. The model is used to calculate predictions for future spectroscopic observations with the HST.

From Science to Policy: a strategy to communicate the science of early childhood to Pennsylvania policy makers
Creators: name: Gatts, Erica
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Design

description: This thesis project recommends a communication strategy for the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Child Development (OCD). It supports OCD in the development of evidence-based communication that targets state policymakers about early childhood issues. The proposed strategy assembles a set of communication materials and heuristics to help OCD educate and inform Pennsylvania legislators about child policy issues statewide. The strategy uses scientific evidence—the latest studies on pre-kindergarten care environments and neuroscientific research on early childhood development—in order to accurately depict the current state of early childhood care in Pennsylvania, as a means of encouraging legislators to make informed policy decisions. The strategy consists of a set of audience-specific, visual-verbal communication guidelines, along with specific recommendations for the timing of communication and selection of content. It serves as a template that can be used to address state lawmakers for a wide range of communication projects. The strategy is shaped by several factors: OCD’s focus on evidence-based communication practices, an understanding of the current science behind early childhood development, research on the target audience’s communication practices, and the shared intention to create a lasting yet flexible set of materials for OCD’s use in addressing early childhood policy issues.
