description: Ensuring passenger safety and comfort in public transportation is crucial for sustaining ridership and enhancing urban mobility. Crime concerns at transit stops can deter usage, while inadequate stop amenities contribute to discomfort and longer perceived wait times. This study addresses these challenges by developing an optimization framework to strategically allocate resources for Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) placement and stop amenity improvements. By integrating ridership patterns, crime frequency, and cost considerations, the research formulates an integer linear programming model to enhance transit security and service quality. Additionally, clustering techniques classify transit stops based on crime profiles to ensure targeted safety enhancements. The methodology is applied to Calgary Transit, focusing on Route 32 as a case study. Multiple scenarios are explored to assess the balance between cost, crime mitigation, and passenger demand. Findings indicate that crime frequency significantly influences CCTV prioritization for safety, while improved stop amenities can enhance comfort and convenience for increasing ridership. Despite limitations such as lack of data and the analysis of a lower-demand route, the results provide actionable insights for transit agencies. This study contributes to the field by offering a decision-support tool that helps optimize resource allocation, balancing safety, comfort, and financial constraints. Future work could refine the model by incorporating detailed stop-level crime data and detailed analytics of land use to enhance planning for transit security and amenity investments.

description: Recent advancements in radio-frequency resonator designs have led to the implementation of nuclear magnetic resonance in diamond anvil cells (DACs) at pressures well above 100 GPa. However, a relatively low resolution and the absence of decoupling sequences complicate the analysis of the results of solid state NMR in DACs. Here, we present the first application of homo-nuclear Lee-Goldburg (LG) decoupling at extreme conditions on high density molecular hydrogen. Lenz lens based two-dimensional resonator structures were found to generate a homogeneous B1 field across sample cavities as small as 12 picolitres, a prerequisite for optimal decoupling. At ideal LG conditions, the broad 1H resonance of molecular ortho-hydrogen was narrowed 1600-fold, resulting in line-widths of 3.1 ppm.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-Newcastle disease virus (NDV) activities of 9-oxo-10,11-dehydroageraphorone (euptox A) from Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng (E. adenophorum) in vitro. NDV infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) was performed. Cytotoxicities and antiviral activities of euptox A was assessed by the MTT method. The interaction of NDV with cell membrane protein was detected by virus overlay protein binding assay (VOPBA). The expression levels of NDV genes in CEFs was tested by RTFQ PCR. The results showed that the maximal safe concentrations of euptox A to CEFs was 10 μg/mL. Euptox A could directly neutralise NDV, inhibit the infectivity of NDV to CEFs and block intracellular NDV treat NDV infection. And euptox A brings competitiveness inhibition for NDV binding to its receptors and then prevent NDV infection. These results indicated that euptox A possessed anti-NDV activity has potential use as components of a natural antiviral drug.

description: We construct an exact dynamical mean field theory for nonresonant inelastic light scattering in the infinite-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model, which can be tuned through a quantum critical metal-insulator transition. Due to the projection of the polarization orientations onto different regions of the Brillouin zone and due to the transfer of energy and momentum from the light to the strongly correlated charge excitations, the nature of the dynamics can be naturally interpreted as strongly temperature-dependent low-energy particle-hole excitations and weakly temperature-dependent high-energy charge transfer excitations which depend delicately on the electronic correlations. These results can be used to give important information concerning the evolution of charge dynamics in different regions of the Brillouin zone.

description: We study the finite temperature localization transition in the spectrum of the overlap Dirac operator. Simulating the quenched approximation of QCD, we calculate the mobility edge, separating localized and delocalized modes in the spectrum. We do this at several temperatures just above the deconfining transition and by extrapolation we determine the temperature where the mobility edge vanishes and localized modes completely disappear from the spectrum. We find that this temperature, where even the lowest Dirac eigenmodes become delocalized, coincides with the critical temperature of the deconfining transition. This result, together with our previously obtained similar findings for staggered fermions shows that quark localization at the deconfining temperature is independent of the fermion discretization, suggesting that deconfinement and localization of the lowest Dirac eigenmodes are closely related phenomena.

description: We report on the supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA) of carbon dioxide at different voltage windows in the presence of oxygen using activated carbon electrodes, and deliquescent, aqueous electrolytes. The presence of O2 in the CO2/N2 gas mixture results in an up to 11 times higher CO2 adsorption capacity with 3 M MgBr2 (at 0.6 V) and up to 4–5 times higher adsorption capacity with 3 M MgCl2 (at 1 V). A tradeoff between high CO2 adsorption capacities and lower coulombic efficiencies was observed at voltages above 0.6 V. The energetic and adsorptive performance of the electrodes in the presence of oxygen below 0.5 V was similar to the performance with a CO2/N2 mixture without oxygen at 1 V. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the electrodes demonstrate that the specific capacitance increases while the diffusion resistance decreases in the presence of oxygen. Oxygen concentrations ranging between 5–20 % give similar energetic and adsorptive performance. The electrodes exhibit stable performance for up to 100 cycles of operation.

Calculations of Zero-norm States and Reduction of Stringy Scattering Amplitudes
Creators: name: Lee, Jen-Chi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We give a simplified method to generate two types of zero-norm states in the old covariant first quantized (OCFQ) spectrum of open bosonic string. Zero-norm states up to the fourth massive level and general formulas of some zero-norm tensor states at an arbitrary mass level are calculated. On-shell Ward identities generated by zero-norm states and the factorization property of stringy vertex operators can then be used to argue that the string-tree scattering amplitudes of the degenerate lower spin propagating states are fixed by those of higher spin propagating states at each fixed mass level. This decoupling phenomenon is, in contrast to Gross's high-energy symmetries, valid to all energy. As examples, we explicitly demonstrate this stringy phenomenon up to the fourth massive level (spin-five), which justifies the calculation of two other previous approaches based on the massive worldsheet sigma-model and Witten's string field theory (WSFT).

description: Several annual rail rate indices depict changes in the prices paid for rail service. Although accurate for general analyses, each of these indices falls short in capturing the three major components of total railroad grain rates: tariff rates, fuel surcharges, and secondary railcar market costs. Bids in the secondary grain railcar market can affect whether the actual rate paid by shippers is above or below the published tariff rate. The seasonality of rates inherent in grain transportation is captured through the secondary market but is neither contained in other grain rail rate indices nor apparent in annualized data. In addition, most grain rate indices do not include fuel surcharges, which have become a major component of the total rate paid for any rail commodity movement. This paper develops new rail rate indices for unit trains and shuttle trains and compares them with a rail cost index. The new indices improve on other grain rail rate indices by including information from the secondary rail market, fuel surcharges, and tariff rates into a weekly index that covers the period between 1997 and 2011. The improved indices show a higher level of detail than annualized indices, allowing for a more thorough analysis of grain rates. They show grain rail rates generally higher than do other indices, with a notable departure from rail costs at the beginning of the economic recession in 2009. A comparison of the rail indices with rail costs calls into question earlier conclusions about rail market power. In constant dollars, rail rates for unit trains increased 67 percent between April 2005 and December 2011, and rail rates for shuttle trains increased 29 percent between May 2006 and December 2011.

description: China has large population but little land. Such objective conditions determine that it is required to adhere to the policy path of "cherishing, rationally utilizing land and practically protecting cultivated land". Due to the relatively immature technology in the early stage of resource development in China, extensive utilization of resources leads to serious pollution, and the situation of the restoration of contaminated sites is severe. After nearly 20 years of a large number of pollution, land restoration there have been a lot of achievements in research and practice, but in the era of big data development, prevention and cure of soil pollution in China, there are a number of problems in the development of science and technology, this paper put forward the corresponding recommendations and opinions for the existing problems, in order to provide decision support for using big data to repair contaminated sites.

description: A minority relativistic electron component can arise in both laboratory and naturally-occurring plasmas. In the presence of high-atomic-number ion species, the ion charge state distribution at low bulk electron temperature can be dominated by relativistic electrons, even though their density is orders of magnitude lower. This is due to the relativistic enhancement of the collisional excitation and ionization cross sections. The resulting charge state effect can dramatically impact the radiative power loss rate and the related Bethe stopping power of relativistic electrons in a dilute plasma.

description: Ensembles of elongated magnetic droplets in a rotating field are studied experimentally. In a given range of field strength and frequency the droplets form rotating structures with a triangular order - rotating crystals. A model is developed to describe ensembles of several droplets, taking into account the hydrodynamic interactions between the rotating droplets in the presence of a solid wall below the rotating ensemble. A good agreement with the experimentally observed periodic dynamics for an ensemble of four droplets is obtained. During the rotation, the tips of the elongated magnetic droplets approach close to one another. An expression is derived that gives the magnetic interaction between such droplets by taking into account the coulombian forces between magnetic charges on the droplet tips.

description: We introduce two new concepts of convergence of gradient systems $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_\varepsilon,\mathcal R_\varepsilon)$ to a limiting gradient system $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_0,\mathcal R_0)$. These new concepts are called `EDP convergence with tilting' and `contact--EDP convergence with tilting'. Both are based on the Energy-Dissipation-Principle (EDP) formulation of solutions of gradient systems, and can be seen as refinements of the Gamma-convergence for gradient flows first introduced by Sandier and Serfaty. The two new concepts are constructed in order to avoid the `unnatural' limiting gradient structures that sometimes arise as limits in EDP-convergence. EDP-convergence with tilting is a strengthening of EDP-convergence by requiring EDP-convergence for a full family of `tilted' copies of $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_\varepsilon,\mathcal R_\varepsilon)$. It avoids unnatural limiting gradient structures, but many interesting systems are non-convergent according to this concept. Contact--EDP convergence with tilting is a relaxation of EDP convergence with tilting, and still avoids unnatural limits but applies to a broader class of sequences $(\mathbf Q, \mathcal E_\varepsilon,\mathcal R_\varepsilon)$. In this paper we define these concepts, study their properties, and connect them with classical EDP convergence. We illustrate the different concepts on a number of test problems.

description: We consider a set of electrostatic problems relevant for determining the real-space structure and the ground-state energy of a two-dimensional electron liquid subject to smooth external potentials. Three fundamental geometries are investigated: an elongated metallic island, an antidot, and a constriction. In the first two cases complete closed-form analytical solutions are obtained, despite the absence of rotational or translational symmetries. These solutions govern the shape and size of large quantum dots, and also the size of the depletion regions and the density profiles around isolated antidots. For the constriction, an exact asymptotical formula for boundary shape is derived and arguments are given in favor of its universality. For the cases where the full analytical solution cannot be obtained, an approximate method is proposed as an alternative. Its accuracy is verified against numerical simulations in a periodic (checkerboard) geometry.

The CMAW was intended to explore the interconnectedness of the North American Power Sector and possible sources of aid, should the sector fall victim to a cyber attack. The objective of the CMAW was to enable better understanding of capabilities, not only in the sector’s own cyber security workforce, but in possible mutual support from city, state, and federal government entities, and across other sectors’ cyber security communities. The Army Cyber Institute, alongside the Electric Infrastructure Security Council and the Software Engineering Institute’s CERT Coordination Center, aimed to explore and evoke national conversation on the possibility of mutual cyber assistance in times of duress and the importance to that endeavor of prior understanding and relationships between concerned parties.

description: To investigate the association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia via meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) of GDM and preeclampsia for women with ICP were calculated using the fixed- or random-effects model. Women with ICP were more likely to have GDM (pooled OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.58, 3.03, I2 = 88.25%) and preeclampsia (pooled OR = 2.58, 95% CI: 2.37, 2.81, I2 = 0%) than women without ICP. The present study supports the concept that ICP is associated with the risk of GDM and preeclampsia.

title: The Role of Mindfulness in Peer Support Practice: An Interpretive Description Study
Creators: name: Fulton, Karen Leanne
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Peer Support
subject: Mindfulness
subject: Therapuetic Relationships
subject: Mental Health

description: Background: It is widely accepted that peer support workers are valuable in helping individuals through addiction recovery. However, it is unknown how peer support workers may use mindfulness in their practice. Method: A qualitative research approach using Interpretive Description was used to examine narratives from peer support workers. Four peer support workers with Interior Health were interviewed virtually using a semi-structured interview guide, approximately 60 minutes each. Key Findings: Mindfulness is often an innate disposition among peer support workers, enhancing their capacity for self-awareness, connection, empathy, and resilience. Key themes: Dispositional Mindfulness of Peer Support Workers; Paradoxical Ideas of Mindfulness Practice; Experiences of Alignment; Mindfulness Strategies within the Peer Support Role (Being Present, Holding Space, Purposeful Movement, and Mantra Recitation). Limitations: A small sample size and absence of quantitative measures representative of this type of research; Participants may represent a group with higher dispositional mindfulness, potentially influencing the findings. Implications for Future Research: This study highlights the value of mindfulness in enhancing emotional resilience, relational effectiveness, and recovery outcomes. Future research could assess dispositional mindfulness in peer support practice or the role of mindfulness in job satisfaction and therapeutic relationships while also examining non-specialized mindfulness delivery alongside client progress and well-being. Conclusion: This study contributes to understanding the role of mindfulness in peer support practice as a personal resource and professional tool, highlighting its potential to sustain peer support workers while fostering safe and non-judgmental spaces for clients. The findings underscore the value of integrating mindfulness into peer support practices to inspire healing, growth, and connection while providing a foundation for future research and applications. Recommendations include considering ways mindfulness strategies may be incorporated into peer support practice, education and training, and policy reform.

description: CUDA Unified Memory improves the GPU programmability and also enables GPU memory oversubscription. Recently, two advanced memory features, memory advises and asynchronous prefetch, have been introduced. In this work, we evaluate the new features on two platforms that feature different CPUs, GPUs, and interconnects. We derive a benchmark suite for the experiments and stress the memory system to evaluate both in-memory and oversubscription performance. The results show that memory advises on the Intel-Volta/Pascal-PCIe platform bring negligible improvement for in-memory executions. However, when GPU memory is oversubscribed by about 50%, using memory advises results in up to 25% performance improvement compared to the basic CUDA Unified Memory. In contrast, the Power9-Volta-NVLink platform can substantially benefit from memory advises, achieving up to 34% performance gain for in-memory executions. However, when GPU memory is oversubscribed on this platform, using memory advises increases GPU page faults and results in considerable performance loss. The CUDA prefetch also shows different performance impact on the two platforms. It improves performance by up to 50% on the Intel-Volta/Pascal-PCI-E platform but brings little benefit to the Power9-Volta-NVLink platform.

description: The freeze all strategy has become a promising alternative to fresh embryo transfer in fertility treatment almost eliminating late ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in the segmented cycle. There is a lack of in-depth knowledge regarding patients’ attitudes towards the freeze all strategy. The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes towards a freeze all strategy compared with fresh embryo transfer in assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment among couples in a public health care setting. We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with ten couples already participants in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and undergoing ART treatment. The couple’s responses showed five themes: (i) Starting treatment provides needed relief; (ii) Treatment must be provided with humanity; (iii) Provision of information instigates positive attitudes towards treatment; (iv) Fresh treatment – ‘The normal way’; and (v) Freeze all treatment – ‘The new black’. When thorough information about treatment procedures and safety aspects regarding both the freeze all and fresh embryo transfer strategy is given prior to initiation of treatment, couples feel secure and content, regardless of which treatment strategy is finally applied. This qualitative study found that starting treatment could prompt longed-for relief, as professionals would now ‘take over’ and assist in meeting the couple’s family building goals.

description: Time- and number-resolved photon detection is crucial for photonic quantum information processing. Existing photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors usually have limited timing and dark-count performance or require complex fabrication and operation. Here we demonstrate a PNR detector at telecommunication wavelengths based on a single superconducting nanowire with an integrated impedance-matching taper. The prototyping device was able to resolve up to five absorbed photons and had 16.1 ps timing jitter, <2 c.p.s. device dark count rate, $\sim$86 ns reset time, and 5.6% system detection efficiency (without cavity) at 1550 nm. Its exceptional distinction between single- and two-photon responses is ideal for coincidence counting and allowed us to directly observe bunching of photon pairs from a single output port of a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. This detector architecture may provide a practical solution to applications that require high timing resolution and few-photon discrimination.

description: The current transportation system is unsustainable and in order to achieve a sustainable transportation system an integrated spatial and traffic planning is need. This thesis studies the relationship between spatial and traffic planning and the transportation mode choices. Trough land use – density, mixed land-use and street connectivity – up to one third of the transport mode choices can be explained. Traffic demand management influence the choices through the accessibility and quality of public transport, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. Parking, pricing and supply, is a further central theme in traffic demand management. Based on these parameters the current situation in the Limmat Valley have been analysed resulting in measures and actions to be implemented in Dietikon, the municipality which have been focused on. The following measures and actions are proposed: Densification in areas with good public transport; land-use restrictions to increase the attractiveness of the built-up environment; stricter parking requirement for new developments; higher parking fees in areas with good public transport; and improvements of cycling and pedestrian facilities.

description: The problem of the choice of tensor product decomposition in a system of two fermions with the help of Bogoliubov transformations of creation and annihilation operators is discussed. The set of physical states of the composite system is restricted by the superselection rule forbidding the superposition of fermions and bosons. It is shown that the Wootters concurrence is not proper entanglement measure in this case. The explicit formula for the entanglement of formation is found and its dependence on tensor product decompositions of the Hilbert space is discussed. It is shown that the set of separable states is narrower than in two-qubit case. Moreover, there exist states which are separable with respect to all tensor product decompositions of the Hilbert space.

description: The studio on architecture within a water-food nexus in Khulna, Bangladesh, explores the territorial, spatial, socio-economic and material interrelation of water, food production and urbanisation that are seen as the core of multi-level challenges faced especially by the disadvantaged communities of Khulna. There as in many parts of Bangladesh and South Asia, this nexus has gotten out of balance due to the combined effects of rapid urbanisation, internal as well as international migration and global capitalism, increasing environmental stress and impacting on agriculture and work. The situation in Khulna is further aggravated by the irreversible alterations to the delicate system of ponds, canals and elevated grounds that for centuries, formed a resilient base for water use, food production and settlement in this ‘sponge city’. 
Architectural design is seen as a way to propose sustainable alternatives for Khulna and beyond. The studio will explore the material economy both with regard to the production of food and building materials allows to tackle resource scarcity and waste problems, sanitation and food production and re-value renewable forms of building and energy materials. Water is thereby investigated at material, tectonic, architectural and urban scales. The studio will apply an urban metabolism approach to quantify stocks and flows of material and energy with particular focus on those materials competing for food production, building materials and waste. Students will formulate a design hypothesis in the form of a short written statement supported by maps and diagrams. The preliminary research on water and tectonic systems will lead to a series of architectural elements forming a joint catalogue of approaches to the topic. These contain prototypical codes identifying input parameters, transformation rules and expected output of the architectural elements. This leads to a parametric definition that can be deployed on the site to generate spatial and tectonic diagrams. Prior knowledge of Grasshopper is not a pre-requisite as all necessary skills will be taught in class. The aim is to produce scalable hybrid water-food-architecture design projects. The students will choose their own programme, building typology and tectonic system according to their research findings, design hypothesis as well as their conceptual and parametric architectural elements.
