description: The Army Strategic Software Improvement Program (ASSIP) is a multiyear effort targeted at improving the way in which the Army acquires software-intensive systems. The ASSIP has funded a number of programs, in conjunction with the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI), to conduct software architecture evaluations using the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM). Additionally, in cases when a system's architecture did not exist or was not ready to evaluate, the ASSIP sponsored Quality Attribute Workshops (QAWs). During the period of this effort, several other programs funded their own ATAM evaluations and QAWs. The goal of this study was to determine the benefits associated with using the ATAM and QAW. This special report describes the results of a study of the impact that the ATAM evaluations and QAWs had on Army programs. All 12 programs that used the ATAM and/or QAW responded to a questionnaire whose objective was to determine the impact of the experience in terms of the quality of the system, the practices of the involved program office, stakeholders, and suppliers, and the overall value of the engagement. The data gathered confirms that the use of ATAM-based architecture evaluations and QAWs are generally beneficial to system acquisitions and suggests that maximal benefit is achievable only if architecture-centric practices are built into the acquisition process.

description: We introduce and study a simple and natural class of solvable stochastic lattice gases. This is the class of \emph{Strong Particles}. The name is due to the fact that when they try to jump to an occupied site they succeed pushing away a pile of particles. For this class of models we explicitly compute the transport coefficients. We also discuss some generalizations and the relations with other classes of solvable models.

description: La présente étude se demande dans quelle mesure les recettes des jeux de hasard financent l’activité culturelle au Canada. Il s’en dégage une toile complexe d’activités de jeux de hasard et une toile encore plus enchevêtrée pour ce qui est de la répartition des recettes tirées de ces activités. Au Canada, les jeux de hasard sont légaux depuis 1969. On avait alors modifié le Code criminel pour autoriser les provinces à exploiter des systèmes de loterie et des casinos et pour accorder à des organismes de bienfaisance et religieux des permis d’exploitation de systèmes de loterie. En 1979, le gouvernement fédéral consentait en vertu d’un accord fédéral-provincial à s’abstenir d’exploiter et de gérer des systèmes de loterie. En retour, les provinces acceptaient de verser au gouvernement fédéral l’équivalent de 24 millions de dollars canadiens ($ CAN) (en dollars de 1979) par année.

description: An architectural tactic is a design decision that helps achieve a specific quality-attribute response. Such a tactic must be motivated by a quality-attribute analysis model. This report presents the basic concepts of analysis models for two quality attributes-modifiability and performance, identifies a collection of tactics that can be used to control responses within those models, and discusses how to analyze the models in terms of these tactics. This report also describes how to interpret architectural designs in terms of analysis models and how to apply those models to specific architectures. In addition, it presents the analysis of several different architectural patterns taken from current literature.

Decomposing Changes of Socioeconomic Inequality in Physical Activity between 2005 and 2015 in the U.S Using RIF Regressions
Creators: name: Liu, Tong
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: This paper applies the RIF regression decomposition method to socioeconomic inequality in physical activity and extends the RIF method to health achievement index. Moreover, an Oaxaca-Blinder type decomposition is applied to the results of the RIF regression decompositions to estimate the relative contributions of various socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. Using the NHIS data on the general US population, we find positive evidence of an existing socioeconomic inequality which reduced in severity from 2005 to 2015. People with less social and human capital are found to experience more severe inequality on average.

description: The use of earth as construction material for modern buildings is a topical issue regarding the significant CO2 emission of the construction sector. Indeed, this millenary material can be used for environmental friendly buildings thanks to its hygrothermal properties, its wide spread availability and its low CO2 emission. However, earth materials still have to meet satisfactory mechanical strengths and water erosion resistance to satisfy the current construction standards. Therefore, most industrial applications and scientific studies used cement or lime to stabilize earth. But the high CO2 footprint due to the high amount of the mineral binders added to these materials inhibits their sustainability. An overview of the vernacular construction techniques and the existence of ancient earth buildings revealed the use of organic binders as earth stabilizers. The organic binders are natural polymers extracted from plants or animals and mixed with earth and water generally for improving its water resistance. This study aims to identify the stabilizing potential of some of those organic polymers. Four organic polymers have been chosen for the study: polysaccharides (wheat starch, alginic acid), and proteins (casein, egg white albumin). Specimens were prepared with two types of soils and various amounts of each organic binder. Specimens were then tested according to their mechanical strength and their resistance to water. Simple tests highlighted very promising organic binders especially the proteins while for the others, it was observed that the efficiency depended on several parameters (the mixture procedure, the type of the soil and the chemical pre-activation).

description: We present our broadband study of GW170817 from radio to hard X-rays, including NuSTAR and Chandra observations up to 165 days after the merger, and a multi-messenger analysis including LIGO constraints. The data are compared with predictions from a wide range of models, providing the first detailed comparison between non-trivial cocoon and jet models. Homogeneous and power-law shaped jets, as well as simple cocoon models are ruled out by the data, while both a Gaussian shaped jet and a cocoon with energy injection can describe the current dataset for a reasonable range of physical parameters, consistent with the typical values derived from short GRB afterglows. We propose that these models can be unambiguously discriminated by future observations measuring the post-peak behaviour, with slope -1.0 for the cocoon and -2.5 for the jet model.

description: Background: Health departments in the United States routinely conduct quality improvement (QI) coaching to help primary care providers optimize vaccine delivery. In a prior trial focusing on multiple adolescent vaccines, this light-touch intervention yielded only short-term improvements in HPV vaccination. We sought to evaluate the impact of an enhanced, HPV vaccinespecific QI coaching intervention when delivered in person or virtually. Methods: We partnered with health departments in three states to conduct a pragmatic cluster randomized trial in 2015 to 2016. We randomized 224 primary care clinics to receive no intervention (control), in-person coaching, or virtual coaching. Health department staff delivered the brief (45-60 minute) coaching interventions, including HPV vaccine-specific training with assessment and feedback on clinics' vaccination coverage (i.e., proportion of patients vaccinated). States' immunization information systems provided data to assess coverage change for HPV vaccine initiation (≥1 doses) at 12-month follow-up, among patients ages 11 to 12 (primary outcome) and 13 to 17 (secondary outcome) at baseline. Results: Clinics served 312,227 patients ages 11 to 17. For ages 11 to 12, coverage change for HPV vaccine initiation was higher in the in-person and virtual coaching arms than in the control arm at 12- month follow-up (1.2% and 0.7% point difference, both P < 0.05). For ages 13 to 17, coverage change was higher for virtual coaching than control (1.4% point difference, P < 0.001), but in-person coaching did not yield an intervention effect. Conclusions: Our brief QI coaching intervention produced small long-term improvements in HPV vaccination. Impact: Health departments may benefit from targeting QI coaching to specific vaccines, like HPV vaccine, that need them most.

description: Q methodology is a research method with a proven history for illuminating agreement and differences among individual and group perceptions. This technical note describes ways for applying Q methodology to assist software engineering processes. As a project management tool, it can help to articulate system requirements and project risk. It can also be used to identify many of the hidden risks and costs associated with system efforts. Q methodology complements a project manager's suite of methodologies and tools by providing a means for uncovering stakeholder perceptions of incorrectly specified requirements, looming risks, and hidden costs. In doing so, it provides stakeholders and project managers with additional insights for troubleshooting project threats.

We show that the Poincare isomorphism can naturally be constructed in the framework of noncommutative geometry. More precisely, to a manifold with edges we assign a noncommutative algebra and construct an isomorphism between the K-group of this algebra and the K-homology group of the manifold with edges viewed as a compact topological space.

Thermodynamic studies of the Escherichia coli factor for inversion stimulation and the eukaryotic nucleosome core particle
Creators: name: Hoch, Duane A.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Eukaryotic Cells

description: The stability and kinetics of the Factor for Inversion Stimulation (FIS) were determined and compared with other intertwined segment swapped alpha-helical DNA binding dimers to aid in understanding oligomeric protein folding. The equilibrium stability of recombinant FIS had been determined by both urea and guanidinium-induced denaturation, using circular dichroism (CD). Stopped-flow CD was used to determine the folding mechanism of the FIS using both urea and guanidinium as the denaturants. Similar to the folding mechanisms of the eukaryotic histones determined previously, the kinetic mechanism of FIS is a sequential process: 1) unfolded monomers associate in a burst phase reaction to form a dimeric intermediate; 2) this intermediate further folds in a first-order reaction to yield the native dimer in the rate-limiting step of the folding reaction. The sequential formation of an on-pathway dimeric intermediate was confirmed using urea double jump experiments. To investigate the role of protein stability in higher order protein-DNA complexes, a Fo?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system was created to monitor the salt-induced unfolding of nucleosome core particles (NCPs) containing H2A.1 and H2A.Z. The donor (D)-acceptor (A) pair chosen was tryptophan and Cys-AEDANS, respectively, with a Fo?rster distance of 20 A?. The FRET system was able to monitor the dissociation of the H2A-H2B dimers from nucleosome core particles reconstituted with the 601 artificial positioning sequence. The free energy of dissociation, DG, for the dimers was determined from FRET equilibrium studies in which two transitions were observed. These transitions correlate to the dissociation of each dimer with positive cooperativity. Although the stability of the FRET NCPs incorporated with H2A.Z were not significantly altered, an increase in the cooperativity of the H2A.Z dimers was observed.

description: We combine new high sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) imaging from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with existing deep HST/Advanced Camera for Surveys optical images from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) program to identify UV-dropouts, which are Lyman break galaxy (LBG) candidates at z sime 1-3. These new HST/WFC3 observations were taken over 50 arcmin2 in the GOODS-South field as a part of the Early Release Science program. The uniqueness of these new UV data is that they are observed in three UV/optical (WFC3 UVIS) channel filters (F225W, F275W, and F336W), which allows us to identify three different sets of UV-dropout samples. We apply Lyman break dropout selection criteria to identify F225W-, F275W-, and F336W-dropouts, which are z sime 1.7, 2.1, and 2.7 LBG candidates, respectively. We use multi-wavelength imaging combined with available spectroscopic and photometric redshifts to carefully access the validity of our UV-dropout candidates. Our results are as follows: (1) these WFC3 UVIS filters are very reliable in selecting LBGs with z sime 2.0, which helps to reduce the gap between the well-studied z gsim 3 and z ~ 0 regimes; (2) the combined number counts with average redshift z sime 2.2 agree very well with the observed change in the surface densities as a function of redshift when compared with the higher redshift LBG samples; and (3) the best-fit Schechter function parameters from the rest-frame UV luminosity functions at three different redshifts fit very well with the evolutionary trend of the characteristic absolute magnitude, M*, and the faint-end slope, α, as a function of redshift. This is the first study to illustrate the usefulness of the WFC3 UVIS channel observations to select z lsim 3 LBGs. The addition of the new WFC3 on the HST has made it possible to uniformly select LBGs from z sime 1 to z sime 9 and significantly enhance our understanding of these galaxies using HST sensitivity and resolution.
Nonlinear electrophoresis in networked microfluidic chips

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Microfluidics

description: This dissertation reports the implementation of two major nonlinear electrophoretic techniques (isoelectric focusing and isotachophoresis) onto networked microfluidic chips. A number of improvements have been made to address the issues that occurred during the miniaturization of those two techniques. Ampholyte-based isoelectric focusing was first demonstrated in a single-channel poly(dimethylsiloxane) chip in which experimental conditions had been optimized to mitigate the adverse effects on the separation resolution due to the problems such as electroosmotic flow, peak drift and pH gradient compression. The resolving power of isoelectric focusing was then further improved in networked microfluidic chips by a staging method. This method couples several stages of IEF in series by first focusing proteins in a straight channel using broad-range ampholytes and then refocusing segments of the first channel into secondary channels that branch from the first one at Tjunctions.; Isotachophoresis experiments demonstrated that a mixture of three fluorescent proteins can be concentrated and stacked into adjacent zones of pure protein in a microchannel. Two-dimensional model was developed to illustrate the stacking and separation features of isotachophoresis and to explore its self-sharpening behavior of sample zones dispersed a T-junction. Sample dispersion at the T-junction was reduced by implementation of an electric valve. With an automated control system, the electric valve utilizing a pair of integrated microelectrodes provided an effective way to maintain current streamlines, thus preventing charged species from dispersion into the T-junction.

Creators: name: Bolarinwa, Bilquis Olayinka
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: It is thought that coastal land reclamation can lead to greater social disparities in coastal cities already under urban stress, especially in the Global South. The practice is a major urban planning feature in Global South cities, many of which are engaging in urban restructuring under neoliberal and entrepreneurial principles. Informal coastal settlements in these cities are especially susceptible to environmental impacts and social disruption due to coastal land reclamation (UN-Habitat, 2014), as they usually lack physical, political, financial and social resources to recover from environmental disasters. This Major Research Paper (MRP), through the conceptual lens of rights to the city and resilience, conducts a case study on Eko Atlantic City (E.A.C) and neighbouring informal coastline communities in Lagos, Nigeria, to understand the challenges they may face under this socio-political context. This research uses secondary literature, some containing interviews with identified community members, to determine these complications. The analysis found that higher flooding incidences in the studied coastline communities strongly correlate to E.A. C’s construction. Consequently, existing livelihoods and livelihood opportunities there were negatively impacted by the increased floods. The lack of social safety nets to protect local people from such impacts illuminates the dangers of reclamation projects, particularly under neoliberal urbanism which favours elite interests. These findings present an opportunity for further discussion on participation and resilience— in its truest sense— concerning planning, disaster risk reduction, and city transformation in the Global South.

description: Data-driven spiking neuronal network (SNN) models enable in-silico analysis of the nervous system at the cellular and synaptic level. Therefore, they are a key tool for elucidating the information processing principles of the brain. While extensive research has focused on developing data-driven SNN models for mammalian brains, their complexity poses challenges in achieving precision. Network topology often relies on statistical inference, and the functions of specific brain regions and supporting neuronal activities remain unclear. Additionally, these models demand huge computing facilities and their simulation speed is considerably slower than real-time. Here, we propose a lightweight data-driven SNN model that strikes a balance between simplicity and reproducibility. The model is built using a qualitative modeling approach that can reproduce key dynamics of neuronal activity. We target the Drosophila olfactory nervous system, extracting its network topology from connectome data. The model was successfully implemented on a small entry-level field-programmable gate array and simulated the activity of a network in real-time. In addition, the model reproduced olfactory associative learning, the primary function of the olfactory system, and characteristic spiking activities of different neuron types. In sum, this paper propose a method for building data-driven SNN models from biological data. Our approach reproduces the function and neuronal activities of the nervous system and is lightweight, acceleratable with dedicated hardware, making it scalable to large-scale networks. Therefore, our approach is expected to play an important role in elucidating the brain's information processing at the cellular and synaptic level through an analysis-by-construction approach. In addition, it may be applicable to edge artificial intelligence systems in the future.

Le secteur informel non agricole des pays en développement: les causes de sa crois-sance, son impact sur le développement et les politiques visant sa réduction

description: Le secteur informel demeure un phénomène difficile à gérer pour les gouvernements et difficile à cerner pour les chercheurs. Cette étude vise, dans un premier temps, à mettre en lumière la nature du secteur informel ainsi que les facteurs influençant sa dimension. Elle présente ensuite les impacts tant sociaux qu’économiques du secteur informel sur le déve-loppement d’un pays. La dernière partie porte sur l’analyse des résultats de quelques cas de réformes administratives réalisées au Brésil, au Mexique, en Russie et au Pérou et visant la réduction du secteur informel. Cette analyse, bien que limitée, permet d’identifier les prin-cipaux facteurs de succès ou d’insuccès de ce genre de réformes. On y note, entre autres, que la confiance de la population envers son gouvernement n’est peut-être pas aussi impor-tante qu’on le croit dans la décision d’œuvrer informellement. De plus, il semble important de respecter un ordre logique dans les actions qui sont posées pour réduire l’informalité tout en considérant les caractéristiques particulières du pays.

description: Despite important progress in modern medicine, widely regarded as an indispensable foundation of healthcare in all highly advanced nations and regions, not all patients respond well to available treatments in biomedicine alone. Additionally, there are concerns about side effects of many medications and interventions, the unsustainable cost of healthcare and the low resolution of chronic non-communicable diseases and mental disorders whose incidence has risen in the last decades. Besides, the chronic stress and burnout of many healthcare professionals impairs the therapeutic relationship. These circumstances call for a change in the current paradigm and practices of biomedicine healthcare. Most of the world population (80%) uses some form of traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (T&CM), usually alongside biomedicine. Patients seem equally satisfied with biomedicine and T&CM, but in the field of T&CM there are also many challenges, such as unsupported claims for safety and/or efficacy, contamination of herbal medicines and problems with regulation and quality standards. As biomedicine and T&CM seem to have different strengths and weaknesses, integration of both approaches may be beneficial. Indeed, WHO has repeatedly called upon member states to work on the integration of T&CM into healthcare systems. Integrative medicine (IM) is an approach that offers a paradigm for doing so. It combines the best of both worlds (biomedicine and T&CM), based on evidence for efficacy and safety, adopting a holistic personalized approach, focused on health. In the last decades academic health centers are increasingly supportive of IM, as evidenced by the foundation of national academic consortia for integrative medicine in Brazil (2017), the Netherlands (2018), and Germany (2024) besides the pioneering American consortium (1998). However, the integration process is slow and sometimes met with criticism and even hostility. The WHO T&CM strategies (2002–2005 and 2014–2023) have provided incipient guidance on the integration process, but several challenges are yet to be addressed. This policy review proposes several possible solutions, including the establishment of a global matrix of academic consortia for IM, to update and extend the WHO T&CM strategy, that is currently under review.
Beyond the Wall:The balance between Israeli security concerns and possible Palestinian economic prosperity
Creators: name: Golding, Jessica
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: A man-made wall not only divides Palestinians from Israelis but also creates a physical division between economic prosperity and poverty. The physical presence of the wall, its implications, what it symbolizes and the myriad of restrictions that go along with it have been an issue between the two peoples since the inception of the wall. While the wall is a physical reminder of this division, the conflict is decades older. Arguably though since the inception of the wall, and the subsequent tighter restrictions on Palestinians, the division between the two sides has become clearer than in decades past. The paper starts by outlining the parallel historical narratives between Israelis and Palestinians, before diving into the intricacies of the conflict in terms of current events, restrictions in the West Bank, their economic impact and Israeli security concerns. The different chapters of the paper are designed to answer the following questions in order to gain a better understanding of the current situation in the region: How have the economic and social restrictions Israel has implemented in Palestine, specifically the West Bank, affected Palestinian economic prosperity? What were the security concerns that caused Israel to implement these restrictions? Are there middle ground policies that could help improve the lives of Palestinians while ensuring Israeli security concerns are validated? While the main focus of the paper remains on the economics of the conflict, the final chapter also illustrates more general policy options that could be implemented to create conditions for peace in the region. On top of creating authentic economic development in Palestine, there is also emphasis on creating opportunities for more equal cooperation and communication between Israelis and Palestinians. This is not only inclusive to the upper echelons of government and activists. It is also important for a more equal coexistence to be created on the people-to-people level as it is in people’s everyday lives that the conflict can be felt the most.

description: La creación de un grupo de investigación de Derecho Internacional Humanitario supone un doble reto. Por un lado, la dificultad de recoger las diferentes visiones con respecto al papel del Estado en escenarios de conflicto armado. Por otro, la consciencia de que la búsqueda de teorizaciones alrededor del conflicto armado se cimienta sobre las pérdidas y profundos dolores de las víctimas. Este grupo de investigación conformado por Édgar Solano González, Manuela Losada Chavarro, María Camila Medina García y María Alejandra Osorio Alvis ha podido asumir ese reto con el apoyo incondicional del doctor Humberto Sierra Porto, director del Departamento de Derecho Constitucional.
Identifying Anomalous Port-Specific Network Behavior

description: Increasing trends in traffic volume on specific ports may indicate new interest in a vulnerability associated with that port. This activity can be a precursor to internet-wide attacks. Port-specific behavior can also arise from stealthy applications that migrate to different ports in order to evade firewalls. But detecting this subtle activity among thousands of monitored ports requires careful statistical modeling as well as methods for controlling false positives. The analysis documented in this report is a large-scale application of statistical outlier detection for determining unusual port-specific network behavior. The method uses a robust correlation measure to cluster related ports and to control for the background baseline traffic trend. A scaled, median-corrected process, called a Z-score, is calculated for the hourly volume measurements for each port. The Z-score measures how unusual each port's behavior is in comparison with the rest of the ports in its cluster. The researchers discuss lessons learned from applying the method to the hourly count of incoming flow records for a carrier-class network over a period of three weeks.

description: The advantage of modular self-reconfigurable robot systems is their flexibility, but this advantage can only be realized if appropriate configurations (shapes) and behaviors (controlling programs) can be selected for a given task. In this paper, we present an integrated system for addressing high-level tasks with modular robots, and demonstrate that it is capable of accomplishing challenging, multi-part tasks in hardware experiments. The system consists of four tightly integrated components: (1) A high-level mission planner, (2) A large design library spanning a wide set of functionality, (3) A design and simulation tool for populating the library with new configurations and behaviors, and (4) modular robot hardware. This paper builds on earlier work by the authors, extending the original system to include environmentally adaptive parametric behaviors, which integrate motion planners and feedback controllers with the system.

description: Greek tragedy, in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, represents the performative realization of binary political difference, for example, “private versus public”, “man versus woman” or “nation versus state”. On the other hand, Roman comedy and French Revolutionary Terror, in Hegel, can be taken as radical expressions of political in-difference, defined as a state where all mediating structures of association and governance have collapsed into a world of “bread and circuses”. In examining the dialectical interplay between binary, tragic difference and comedic, terrible in-difference, the paper arrives at hypothetical conclusions regarding how these political forms may be observed today.

description: This report is intended to provide guidance on how to use the Software Process Framework (SPF) for reviewing, analyzing, and designing software process documents that are consistent with the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software, Version 1.1. This guidance is not "how to design" or "how to analyze" software process documents in general. Rather, the guidance is focused on how to use the Software Process Framework for those purposes. The purpose of this report is to clarify the intended usage of the SPF and describe usage scenarios that have evolved through the use of the SPF in the software development community over several years. This report is intended to be used as a supplement to the SPF, not by itself. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the CMM, is experienced in software process improvement and definition, and has skill in designing or analyzing software process documents.
