description: In addition to providing funding for our aging transportation infrastructure, congestion pricing can improve traffic flow, safety, and trip reliability. Given these benefits, more states are exploring congestion pricing. There is concern, however, about the potential unintended consequences of congestion pricing on low-income people, who may not be able to afford the tolls. Will un-tolled alternatives, such as riding transit or taking an alternate route add too much travel time and distance to be viable options? Will low-income people have a credit or debit account to establish or replenish an account for an electronic transponder? Will limited-English proficient people understand how to obtain a transponder or use the system? There is very little data to answer these questions. Environmental Justice guides states to evaluate the potential adverse effects of highway projects on low-income and minority people. The stakes are high: transportation officials need to be able to more definitively answer questions about the equity of congestion pricing from policymakers and the public, or risk lawsuits and costly delays to their projects. Reliable data can also provide sound foundation for meaningful mitigation, should it be necessary. Because environmental justice is an emerging science, however, states are wrestling with how to evaluate the effects of congestion pricing on low-income and minority populations. Typically, to conduct an environmental justice analysis on a highway project, we examine the environment within a specified distance from the project limits, because the project effects – such as increased noise or traffic – should not extend farther than this. Because tolling a roadway or bridge will affect users of the facility as much as it will affect the environment around it, we must supplement the conventional approach when we conduct an environmental justice analysis of a tolled facility. At the request of the Washington State Department of Transportation, PRR, a multidisciplinary public affairs firm, developed a methodology for conducting an environmental justice analysis of tolled facilities. We used this approach in our evaluation of the effects of tolling the SR 520 Bridge on low-income and minority people. This paper will present: • Our research methodology, which includes a transit intercept survey, telephone survey, and focus groups with SR 520 Bridge users; • Applying our findings to an environmental justice analysis; and • Recommendations for next steps in evaluating the effects of congestion pricing on environmental justice populations.

description: Objective: To assess driving behavior when presented with different work zone features such as signs. Driving behavior upstream of a work zone is of interest since this is the point where drivers need to slow or react to upcoming conflicts such as lane closures, congested traffic, or presence of workers and equipment. Methods: Using 299 time series traces from four-lane roadways with both shoulder and lane closure scenario from the naturalistic driving study, this study analyzed driving behavior by detecting response points within the advance warning area from the first sign to the start of work zone. Response point was defined as the point where drivers reduced speed by a certain threshold. A mixed effect logistic model was developed to assess the relationship between driver response and work zone characteristics. Results: Results indicated the first work zone sign a driver encountered in the immediate area upstream of the work zone was not significantly likely to elicit a driver response. The model found lane ends, speed limit, and active changeable message signs (CMS) as statistically significant. Since more than one sign can be legible to the driver at the same time, the effect of overlapping signs was evaluated, but was not found to have significant effect on the driver response. In general, drivers were more likely to show a response to the signs the closer they got to the start of the work zone. Static work zone speed limit and dynamic speed feedback signs were both found to be more likely to elicit a response as compared to normal speed limit signs (non-work zone related). Drivers who were traveling over the posted speed limit were more likely to show response at any given work zone signs with the exception of the first sign. In addition, driver distraction, and driver information like age, gender, experience and other environmental factors were not found to be significant in the model. Conclusions: Overall, drivers were likely to show a response at the lane ends, work zone speed limit signs, and speed feedback signs.

description: We develop a Hamiltonian formalism to study energy and position/momentum correlations between a single Stokes photon and a single material excitation that are created as a pair in the spontaneous Raman scattering process. Our approach allows for intuitive separation of the effects of spectral linewidth, chromatic dispersion, and collection angle on these correlations, and we compare the predictions of the model to experiment. These results have important implications for the use of Raman scattering in quantum protocols that rely on spectrally unentangled photons and collective excitations.

description: This research assesses how U.S. transit agencies have taken advantage of congestion pricing projects and answers two questions: (1) what role has transit played in U.S. congestion pricing projects and (2) how have transit agencies responded to congestion pricing projects through service planning, operating practices, capital investment and institutional arrangements. First, a macro-level assessment is conducted of twenty-two congestion pricing projects. Second, a microlevel analysis comparing two congestion pricing projects in Northern Virginia is made.

description: In this paper, we estimate the long-run gasoline price and income elasticity of VMT for the period 2000-2008. Most of the previous studies use the very common classes of time series methods that are the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. We advance the analytical framework to include a vector error-correction (VEC) regression technique that overcomes several limitations of ARIMA models. We find that long-run gasoline price elasticity to VMT ranges from -0.31 to -0.88, and income elasticity ranges from 0.18 to 0.49.

description: We examine the low-energy signatures of axion-like particles (ALPs) in lepton flavor violating (LFV) processes. By using a dimension-5 effective Lagrangian, we compute the most general ALP contributions to LFV decays of leptons and mesons. The provided expressions are valid for any choice of ALP mass and couplings. We explore the complementarity of different processes, identifying specific patterns to be experimentally tested. Constraints on LFV couplings are derived from existing data and prospects for forthcoming experiments are also discussed. As a by-product, we revisit the possibility of a simultaneous explanation of the observed discrepancies in the muon and electron $g-2$ through ALP interactions.

description: Die Entwicklung der Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten enorme Fortschritte erzielt. Für Unternehmen kann der Einsatz von KI einen großen Mehrwert darstellen. Doch die Einführung dieser Technologie ist nicht immer leicht. Ein Grund dafür sind vor allem die Bedenken der Mitarbeiter, die die Einführung der KI ins Unternehmen bremsen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, Maßnahmen aufzustellen, die die menschlichen Widerstände bei der Einführung von KI im Unternehmen minimieren können. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage aufgestellt: „Mit welchen Maßnahmen können menschlichen Widerstände bei der Einführung von Künstlicher Intelligenz in Unternehmen minimiert werden?“. Um diese beantworten zu können, muss als Nebenziel die Frage beantwortet werden: „Welche Bedenken und Probleme haben Mitarbeiter bei der Einführung von Künstlicher Intelligenz am Arbeitsplatz“. Um das Ziel der Masterarbeit zu erreichen, wurde eine Literaturrecherche durchgeführt sowie auf Basis dieser eine quantitative Umfrage erstellt und mit Arbeitnehmern verschiedener Altersstufen, Unternehmen und Branchen geteilt. Dabei wurde ein besonderer Blickpunkt auf die Bedenken und Probleme der Mitarbeiter im Rahmen der Einführung von KI im Unternehmen gelegt. Des Weiteren wurde analysiert, welche konkreten Maßnahmen im Change Prozess angewendet werden können, um menschliche Widerstände bei der Einführung von KI zu minimieren. Das Ergebnis der Umfrage war, dass Sorgen und Probleme bei der Einführung von KI im Unternehmen unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht oder Unternehmen entstehen. Es gibt insgesamt vier Kernprobleme, die bei der Einführung von KI beachtet werden sollten. Darauf aufbauend entstanden fünf Maßnahmen mit vierzehn Handlungsempfehlungen, die in den verschiedenen Phasen des Change Prozesses angewendet werden sollten. Entscheidend für Unternehmen ist eine aktive Beteiligung der Mitarbeiter in allen Phasen des Change Prozesses, um menschliche Widerstände so gering wie möglich zu halten.

description: In this study, a radial analytical model for methane hydrate dissociation upon thermal stimulation in porous media considering the effect of wellbore structure has been developed. The analytical approach is based on a similarity solution employing a moving boundary separating the dissociated and undissociated zones. Two different heat sources are considered: i) line heat source; and ii) wellbore heat source with specific thickness consisting of casing, gravel, and cement. The temperature and pressure distributions, dissociation rate, and energy efficiency considering various initial and boundary conditions, and reservoir properties are investigated. Direct heat transfer from the heat source to the reservoir without considering the heat conduction in the wellbore thickness causes higher the dissociation rate and gas production in the line heat source model compared to the wellbore heating model. Increasing the heat source temperature or decreasing its pressure increases gas production. However, employing them simultaneously results in greater gas production but reduces energy efficiency. The dissociation rate has direct relation with porosity, thermal diffusivities, and thermal conductivities of the reservoir, but is not dependent on the reservoirs permeability.

description: The fuel debris generated in the accident at the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station has been subject to water and ionizing radiation for years and will be until retrieval. Therefore, we investigated the potential degradation of this fuel debris caused by H2O2, which is the oxidant of major impact from water radiolysis. We performed leaching experiments on different kinds of simulated debris comprising U, Fe, Cr, Ni, and Zr in an aqueous H2O2 solution. Chemical analysis of the leaching solution showed that U dissolution was induced by H2O2. Raman analysis after the leaching revealed that uranyl peroxides were formed on the surface of the simulated debris. The U dissolution and uranyl peroxide formation were observed in most of the simulated debris. These results demonstrate that uranyl peroxides are possible alteration products of fuel debris from H2O2 reaction. However, the sample in which the main U-containing phase was a U-Zr oxide solid solution showed much less U dissolution and no Raman signal of uranyl peroxides. Comparison of these results indicates that formation of an oxide solid solution of Zr with UO2 improves the stability of fuel debris against H2O2 reaction.

description: Children living in disadvantaged communities have substantially increased risk for deleterious health and development outcomes. Given the multiplicity of health risks associated with social disadvantage, strategies to promote child health and well-being go beyond the traditional medical-based setting and involve community-wide policy strategies that change the broader environments in which children live. Community-based paediatric clinics provide medical treatment to unwell children as well as delivering child health promotion services, counselling and advice to caregivers, and referral to other health professionals. A substantial number of children attending community paediatric clinics have developmental issues. Research has found that a considerable proportion of developmental delay is avoidable, and if children do not receive appropriate treatment within the critical period of the first 1000 days, damage may be irreparable. A number of studies have been conducted on the impact of community paediatric clinics, particularly in terms of early identification of developmental delay and intervention. A systematic review of the evidence has yet to be conducted. The aim of this protocol is to set out a comprehensive plan to undertake a systematic search, appraisal and mixed-methods synthesis of international literature that examines the impacts of community-based paediatric clinics on the developmental outcomes of children living in disadvantaged communities.

description: This paper proposes an optimal vehicle dispatching policy for transportation disruption. This policy determines the optimal vehicle capacity and dispatching time along a route. Transportation demand includes wiener demand and the unusual demand disruption, i.e. emergency evacuation. The cost function is consisted of waiting time cost and transporting cost. Sufficient conditions have been given with proof by quasivariational inequalities. Both finite planning horizon and an infinite horizon cases have been discussed. This proposed method can be applied into various scenarios, such as mass transit dispatching, freight transportation, aircraft shuttle scheduling and so on.

description: In this paper, we present an efficient, functional, and formally verified parsing algorithm for LL(1) context-free expressions based on the concept of derivatives of formal languages. Parsing with derivatives is an elegant parsing technique, which, in the general case, suffers from cubic worst-case time complexity and slow performance in practice. We specialise the parsing with derivatives algorithm to LL(1) context-free expressions, where alternatives can be chosen given a single token of lookahead. We formalise the notion of LL(1) expressions and show how to efficiently check the LL(1) property. Next, we present a novel linear-time parsing with derivatives algorithm for LL(1) expressions operating on a zipper-inspired data structure. We prove the algorithm correct in Coq and present an implementation as a parser combinators framework in Scala, with enumeration and pretty printing capabilities.

description: We discuss new, high sensitivity HI observations of the spiral galaxy NGC2403 which show extended emission at anomalous velocities with respect to the `cold' disk. This `anomalous' gas component (~1/10 of the total HI mass) is probably located in the region of the halo and rotates more slowly (~20-50 km/s) than the gas in the disk. Moreover, it shows a distortion in the velocity field that we interpret as a large-scale radial motion (10-20 km/s inflow) towards the centre of the galaxy. The most likely explanation for its origin and kinematics seems to be that of a galactic fountain. There is, however, a significant part of the anomalous gas which seems to be moving contrary to rotation and is difficult to understand in such a picture. These anomalous gas complexes discovered in NGC 2403 may be analogous to the High Velocity Clouds of our Galaxy. They may be rather common in spiral galaxies and not have been detected yet for lack of sensitivity.

description: We investigate geospatial and socio-demographic attributes that explain differences in community-level policies affecting unconventional gas development (UGD) in New York. We examine local policy decisions (i.e., municipal bans, moratoria, and pre-emptive resolutions supporting development) through ordered probit models and middle-inflated and zero-inflated ordered probits to account for communities without UGD policies and estimate a spatial ordered probit to address spatial correlations between communities’ decisions. Our findings suggest that New York communities near Pennsylvania UGD are more likely to sup-port UGD. Communities that are predominantly Democrat or have more citizens who have bachelor’s de-grees are more likely to adopt policies opposing UGD.

Ghost constraints and the covariant quantization of the superparticle in ten dimensions

description: We present a modification of the Berkovits superparticle. This is firstly in order to covariantly quantize the pure spinor ghosts, and secondly to covariantly calculate matrix elements of a generic operator between two states. We proceed by lifting the pure spinor ghost constraints and regaining them through a BRST cohomology. We are then able to perform a BRST quantization of the system in the usual way, except for some interesting subtleties. Since the pure spinor constraints are reducible, ghosts for ghosts terms are needed, which have so far been calculated up to level 4. Even without a completion of these terms, we are still able to calculate arbitrary matrix elements of a physical operator between two physical states.

description: Fracking is a controversial practice but is thriving in many areas. We combine a comprehensive data set on local bans and moratoria in the state of New York with local-level census data and spatial characteristics in a spatial econometric analysis of local fracking policies. Some factors, including location in the Utica shale, pro-portion of registered Democrats, and education level, increase the probability of restrictions on fracking. Extent of local land development, location in highly productive petroleum areas, and number of extant oil and gas wells are among factors that have a negative impact on the likelihood of a ban or moratorium.

description: Public discourse suggests a lack of consensus in the United States regarding the environmental impacts of shale gas development. Newly available shale gas has reduced the cost of electricity and heating and replaced coal, but public fears about the environment threaten to curtail those gains. We designed the first survey-based analysis of the views of government, industry, academic, and nongovernmental experts to identify their priorities for regulation and voluntary action among 264 routine and 14 accidental environmental risk “pathways.” We find that nongovernmental experts select many more problems but that there is considerable agreement on the most important ones, which can guide research, policies, and practices so that shale gas benefits continue and environmental impacts are limited.

description: Few rigorous results are derived for fully developed turbulence. By applying the scaling properties of the Navier-Stokes equation we have derived a relation for the energy spectrum valid for unforced or decaying isotropic turbulence. We find the existence of a scaling function $ψ$. The energy spectrum can at any time by a suitable rescaling be mapped onto this function. This indicates that the initial (primordial) energy spectrum is in principle retained in the energy spectrum observed at any later time, and the principle of permanence of large eddies is derived. The result can be seen as a restoration of the determinism of the Navier-Stokes equation in the mean. We compare our results with a windtunnel experiment and find good agreement.

description: Häusliche Gewalt gegen Frauen ist eine Art von psychischer Gewalt gegen Kinder, die sich schädigend auf deren Entwicklung auswirken kann. Seit dem Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts ist das Interesse an der Situation von Kindern im Kontext häuslicher Gewalt beständig gestiegen. Dennoch gestaltet sich das Versorgungsangebot in Deutschland als mangelhaft. Im Frauenhauskontext werden Kinder zwar mit ihrem eigenen Unterstützungsbedarf gesehen, aber dessen Umsetzung und Abdeckung stellt eine Ressourcenfrage dar (vgl. Kavemann 2013, S. 20). Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Bedarfe von traumatisierten Kindern aufzuzeigen und Möglichkeiten der bedarfsgerechten Unterstützung in Frauenhäusern zu eruieren. Dies soll mithilfe des qualitativ-explorativen Ansatzes erreicht werden, indem vier Expert*innen-Interviews geführt wurden. Anhand der Ergebnisse kann festgestellt werden, dass die Bedarfe vor allem durch Ressourcenbereitstellung, bundeseinheitliche Standards und Institutionsvernetzung abgedeckt werden könnten. Eine Überprüfung der Ergebnisse mithilfe einer größeren Stichprobe, der Ergänzung durch quantitative Methoden und der thematischen Einbindung der Gewalt durch Mütter wäre wünschenswert.

description: In conjunction with technologies such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing has transformed U.S. and world energy outlooks by adding reserves from unconventional resources. Fracturing was developed by experimentation and experience. This study empirically analyzes fracturing data for wells in the Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana, focusing on firms’ ability to improve well production over time through collaboration. Results suggest that producers gain from experience with fracturing and that proprietary additives are not generally correlated with greater production but have value for some firms. Experiential gains are stronger for operators than for contractors, but some operator-contractor pairings have productive value.

As the universe expands, however, the shape of the potential rapidly changes and the local minimum eventually disappears. The fields then start to roll down towards the absolute minimum. In the absence of the U(1)_Y gauge interaction the resulting space is a homogeneous and isotropic S^3, but the U(1)_Y gauge interaction necessarily induces anisotropy while preserving the homogeneity of the space. Large magnetic fields are generically produced over a substantial period of the rolling-over transition. The magnetic field configuration is characterized by the Hopf map.

description: This presentation will highlight the developments and key steps that led to the present SPEX code. Starting with the initial work by Rolf Mewe, which was motivated by the need to understand Solar X-ray data, the models gradually evolved thanks to the contribution of several persons and triggered by new space instruments. Also some of the basic working principles like appropriate parameterizations of relevant processes and the handling of lacking atomic data will be discussed.
A Hybrid Approach To Hierarchical Density-based Cluster Selection

description: HDBSCAN is a density-based clustering algorithm that constructs a cluster hierarchy tree and then uses a specific stability measure to extract flat clusters from the tree. We show how the application of an additional threshold value can result in a combination of DBSCAN* and HDBSCAN clusters, and demonstrate potential benefits of this hybrid approach when clustering data of variable densities. In particular, our approach is useful in scenarios where we require a low minimum cluster size but want to avoid an abundance of micro-clusters in high-density regions. The method can directly be applied to HDBSCAN's tree of cluster candidates and does not require any modifications to the hierarchy itself. It can easily be integrated as an addition to existing HDBSCAN implementations.

description: Spätestens seit der US-Wahl 2016 ist Online-Desinformation zu einem immer größeren Problem geworden. Der Einfluss von Desinformation auf das wahrgenommene Meinungsklima und die öffentliche Meinung hat Verzerrungen zufolge, die sich bis in die Wahlkabine auswirken können. Gesetzgebung und Journalismus sind in der demokratischen Verantwortung für Rahmenbedingungen zu sorgen, die einen gerechten Meinungsbildungsprozess und faire demokratische Wahlen gewährleisten. Doch auch die großen Internetkonzerne müssen ihrer Verantwortung gerecht werden und Online-Desinformation auf ihren Plattformen ein-dämmen. Desinformative Inhalte von Fact-Check Unternehmen mit Warnhinweisen versehen zu lassen, ist eine ihrer Strategien, um dieser Problematik Einhalt zu gebieten. Ob diese Strategie wirkungsvoll ist und was weiterführend getan werden kann, ist die Fragestellung dieser Arbeit. Die Literaturanalyse zeigt, dass die proaktive Aufklärung von Desinformation bei weitem nicht ausreicht. Vielmehr braucht es eine wachsende kritische Medienkompetenz in der Gesellschaft, genauso wie gesteigertes Vertrauen in die politischen Institutionen und in seriösen Journalismus. Diese werden als Schlüsselfaktoren demokratischer Resilienz herausgearbeitet, um eine informierte Gesellschaft zu gewährleisten.

description: We estimate the potential negative effects of underground natural gas storage on local residents using hedonic regression and a sample of Indiana properties transacted between 2004 and 2013. We find that underground natural gas storage activities significantly reduce property values. Property values increase by about 10 percent at a distance of 1 kilometer from a storage field. Each additional storage well and observation well located near a property reduces the property’s value by about 0.43 percent and 2.64 percent, respectively. Our research sheds new light on a previously unexplored aspect of natural gas resource activities.

description: Aegopodium alpestre Ledeb (A. alpestre) is a plant known for its fragrant smell and has been traditionally used to treat influenza. However, despite its widespread use, there is no research on its flowering aerial parts. This study aims to contribute to the understanding the flowering aerial parts by investigating its volatile oil. The essential oil was extracted through hydrodistillation and analysed using GC-MS. The analysis identified 54 compounds, which accounted for 95.16% of the oil composition. The major components are germacrene D (31.68%), β-caryophyllene (16.07%), and (E)-β-farnesene (7.99%). To evaluate the antioxidant activity of volatile oil, six antioxidant experiments were conducted. The results indicated that volatile oil exhibited significant 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt and hydroxyl radical scavenging abilities. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of volatile oil was assessed against four common pathogenic bacteria. The findings demonstrated that volatile oil displayed potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Aerogenic bacterium.

description: Supplementary Fig. 3. Foraminifera stable isotopes across the NKK-1 borehole EOT succession on the depth scale. The zone of faded isotopic data points highlights where extensive infilling with sparry calcite is associated with isotopically depleted ε18O and ε13C values even in separated test fragments (c. 53–47 mbs), masking the primary foraminiferal/ocean signal. The dashed vertical pale blue and pale grey lines (planktonic and benthic respectively) represent late Eocene ‘base-line’ ‘unaltered values’ used as a threshold for determining which data points contain significant diagenetic calcite bias and, thus, should be excluded from our interpretation (see Supplementary Fig. 3).

description: PHENIX has measured transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at mid-rapidity up to 10 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV. For central collisions, the yield at high pT is significantly suppressed comparing to binary scaled p+p data, and this suppression is stronger than observed at 130 GeV. Above 4 GeV/c, the deficit of high momentum particles is almost independent of pT.

description: The GC and GC/MS analysis of the essential oil samples obtained separately from whole aerial parts and the roots of Laportea bulbifera resulted in the identification of a total of 40 compounds from the whole aerial parts and 45 compounds from the roots representing 89.7% and 82.9%, respectively, of the total essential oil composition. The essential oil from aerial parts is dominated by oxygenated sesquiterpenes (66.4%) with α-elemol (55.1%), germacrene D-4-ol (4.2%), linalool (3.5%) and phytol (3.4%) as the major constituents while the root essential oil is dominated by oxygenated monoterpenes (30.4%) with trans-myrtanol (16.3%), cis-myrtanol (11.6%), nopinone (7.8%), cadin-4-en-10-ol (4.7%), and α-elemol (3.4%) as major constituents. The essential oil from whole aerial parts showed bactericidal effect at 250 µL/mL concentration (MBC) against Pasteurella multocida and Dickeya dadantii while the root essential oil exhibited bactericidal effect at 125 µL/mL against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Xanthomonas phaseoli, and Dickeya dadantii.
