description: This paper studies the Hankel determinants generated by a discontinuous Gaussian weight with one and two jumps. It is an extension of Chen and Pruessner \cite{Chen2005}, in which they studied the discontinuous Gaussian weight with a single jump. By using the ladder operator approach, we obtain a series of difference and differential equations to describe the Hankel determinant for the single jump case. These equations include the Chazy II equation, continuous and discrete Painlevé IV. In addition, we consider the large $n$ behavior of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and prove that they satisfy the biconfluent Heun equation. We also consider the jump at the edge under a double scaling, from which a Painlevé XXXIV appeared. Furthermore, we study the Gaussian weight with two jumps, and show that a quantity related to the Hankel determinant satisfies a two variables' generalization of the Jimbo-Miwa-Okamoto $σ$ form of the Painlevé IV.

Task-based Embedded Assessment of Functional Abilities for Aging in Place
Creators: name: Lee, Matthew L.
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Many older adults desire to maintain their quality of life by living and aging independently in their own homes. However, it is difficult for older adults to notice and track the subtle changes in their own abilities because these abilities can change gradually over a long period of time. Technology in the form of ubiquitous sensors embedded in objects in the home can play a role in keeping track of the functional abilities of individuals unobtrusively, objectively, and continuously over a long period of time. This work introduces a sensing technique called “task-based embedded assessment” that monitors how well specific tasks important for independence are carried out using everyday objects found in the home with which individuals regularly interact. Following formative studies on the information needs of older adults and their caregivers, a sensing system called “dwellSense” that can monitor, assess, and provide feedback about how well individuals complete tasks, such as taking medications, using the phone, and making coffee, was designed, built, and evaluated. Multiple longterm (over 10 months) field deployments of dwellSense were used to investigate how the data collected from the system could support greater self-awareness of abilities and intentions to improve in task performance. Presenting and reflecting on data from ubiquitous sensing systems such as dwellSense is challenging because it is both highly dimensional as well as large in volume, particularly if it is collected over a long period of time. Thus, this work also investigates the time dimension of reflection and has identified that real-time feedback is particularly useful for supporting behavior change, and longer-term trended feedback is useful for greater awareness of abilities. Traditional forms of assessing the functional abilities of individuals tend to be either biased, lacking ecological validity, infrequent, or expensive to conduct. An automated sensor-based approach for assessment is compared to traditional performance testing by a trained clinician and found to match well with clinician-generated ratings that are objective, frequent, and ecologically valid. The contributions from this thesis not only advance the state of the art for maintaining quality of life and care for older adults, but also provide the foundations for designing personal sensing systems that aim to assess an individual’s abilities and support behaviors through the feedback of objective, timely sensed information.

description: We formulate the Einstein-Cartan-Dirac equations in the Newman-Penrose (NP) formalism, thereby presenting a more accurate and explicit analysis of previous such studies. The equations show in a transparent way how the Einstein-Dirac equations are modified by the inclusion of torsion. In particular, the Hehl-Datta equation is presented in NP notation. We then describe a few solutions of the Hehl-Datta equation on Minkowski space-time, and in particular report a solitonic solution which removes the unphysical behavioiur of the corresponding Dirac solution. The present work serves as a prelude to similar studies for non-degenerate Poincare gauge gravity.

description: In this paper we study the conditions under which an N-electron wave function for a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state can be viewed as N-point correlation function in a conformal field theory (CFT). Several concrete examples are presented to illustrate, when these condition are satisfied, how to ``derive'' or ``uncover'' relevant operator algebra in the associated CFT from the FQH wave function. Besides the known Pfaffian state, the states studied here include three d-wave paired states, one for spinless electrons and two for spin-1/2 electrons (one of them is the Haldane-Rezayi state). It is suggested that the non-abelian topological order hidden in these states can be characterized by their associated chiral operator product algebra, from which one may infer the quantum numbers of quasi-particles and calculate their wave functions.

description: NeXT (New X-ray Telescope) is the next Japanese X-ray astronomical satellite mission after the Suzaku satellite. NeXT aims to perform wide band imaging spectroscopy. Due to the successful development of a multilayer coated mirror, called a supermirror, NeXT can focus X-rays in the energy range from 0.1 keV up to 80 keV. To cover this wide energy range, we are in the process of developing a hybrid X-ray camera, Wideband X-ray Imager (WXI) as a focal plane detector of the supermirror. The WXI consists of X-ray CCDs (SXI) and CdTe pixelized detectors (HXI), which cover the lower and higher X-ray energy bands of 0.1-80 keV, respectively. The X-ray CCDs of the SXI are stacked above the CdTe pixelized detectors of the HXI. The X-ray CCDs of the SXI detect soft X-rays below $\sim$ 10 keV and allow hard X-rays pass into the CdTe detectors of the HXI without loss. Thus, we have been developing a "back-supportless CCD" with a thick depletion layer, a thinned silicon wafer, and a back-supportless structure. In this paper, we report the development and performances of an evaluation model of CCD for the SXI, "CCD-NeXT1". We successfully fabricated two types of CCD-NeXT1, unthinned CCDs with 625-um thick wafer and 150-um thick thinned CCDs. By omitting the polishing process when making the thinned CCDs, we confirmed that the polishing process does not impact the X-ray performance. In addition, we did not find significant differences in the X-ray performance between the two types of CCDs. The energy resolution and readout noise are $\sim$ 140 eV (FWHM) at 5.9 keV and $\sim$5 electrons (RMS), respectively. The estimated thickness of the depletion layer is $\sim$80 um. The performances almost satisfy the requirements of the baseline plan of the SXI.

description: This paper presents a communication efficient distributed algorithm, $\mathcal{CIRFE}$ of the \emph{consensus}+\emph{innovations} type, to estimate a high-dimensional parameter in a multi-agent network, in which each agent is interested in reconstructing only a few components of the parameter. This problem arises for example when monitoring the high-dimensional distributed state of a large-scale infrastructure with a network of limited capability sensors and where each sensor is tasked with estimating some local components of the state. At each observation sampling epoch, each agent updates its local estimate of the parameter components in its interest set by simultaneously processing the latest locally sensed information~(\emph{innovations}) and the parameter estimates from agents~(\emph{consensus}) in its communication neighborhood given by a time-varying possibly sparse graph. Under minimal conditions on the inter-agent communication network and the sensing models, almost sure convergence of the estimate sequence at each agent to the components of the true parameter in its interest set is established. Furthermore, the paper establishes the performance of $\mathcal{CIRFE}$ in terms of asymptotic covariance of the estimate sequences and specifically characterizes the dependencies of the component wise asymptotic covariance in terms of the number of agents tasked with estimating it. Finally, simulation experiments demonstrate the efficacy of $\mathcal{CIRFE}$.

description: We examine the capabilities of the DUNE experiment as a probe of the neutrino mixing paradigm. Taking the current status of neutrino oscillations and the design specifications of DUNE, we determine the experiment's potential to probe the structure of neutrino mixing and CP violation. We focus on the poorly determined parameters $θ_{23}$ and $δ_{CP}$ and consider both two and seven years of run. We take various benchmarks as our true values, such as the current preferred values of $θ_{23}$ and $δ_{CP}$, as well as several theory-motivated choices. We determine quantitatively DUNE's potential to perform a precision measurement of $θ_{23}$, as well as to test the CP violation hypothesis in a model-independent way. We find that, after running for seven years, DUNE will make a substantial step in the precise determination of these parameters, bringing to quantitative test the predictions of various theories of neutrino mixing.

Let's go to the Park: Allegheny County Parks Re-imagined through Service Design
Creators: name: McConnell, Kristen
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Design

description: Abstract. This thesis project analyzes how the principles and methods of service design, design thinking, and human-centered design research can be utilized to re-imagine a county-level parks department, specifically Allegheny County Parks. Allegheny County Parks is a system of nine parks that have suffered for 30+ years from deferred maintenance, funding cuts, and other shortages. Boyce Park, one of the nine County parks, includes a broad range of prototypical park activities. My previous employment and established relationships made Boyce Park an excellent service design case study. To begin the project, I employed exploratory research methods (e.g., literature reviews, observations, participation in services, surveys, and interviews) to understand the design space. Then, generative research methods (e.g., affinity diagrams, personas, stakeholder maps, and service blueprints) led to the identification of key service improvement areas: organizational structure, increase revenue, infrastructure, user-centered park policies and communications. The area of communications was chosen for further exploration, due to its potential as a first step in transforming the parks and affecting the other service improvement areas. Another round of communications-centered exploratory and generative research (e.g., benchmarking and speed dating) was completed, resulting in a new service ecology and communications system proposal for Allegheny County Parks. A portion of the new communications system, specifically a responsive website design for mobile, tablet and desktop platforms, was prototyped. The responsive design, which showcased an activity finder and reservation system, was evaluated through paper prototyping sessions. The feedback from these sessions was implemented within a final HTML prototype. 
Labor supply choices within families

Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the influence of family dynamics on labor-market outcomes, with a focus on gender disparities in wages, labor-market experience, and labor-supply elasticities. Building on Claudia Goldin's work, it highlights the importance of family in understanding women's labor-market patterns and the persistent gender wage gap. The first chapter (joint work with Christian Bredemeier and Falko Jüßen) develops a novel approach to decompose the gender wage gap by including partner characteristics, showing that family-driven career prioritization can significantly affect wage trajectories. The second chapter analyzes East-West German differences in womens labor-market experience, with results underlining the role of child care for regional variations in career interruptions and wage gaps. The third chapter (joint work with Christian Bredemeier and Falko Jüßen) investigates labor-supply elasticities, confirming that women's market labor is more elastic due to their greater share of unpaid housework, with implications for optimal taxation policies. Overall, the thesis emphasizes the need to account for family dynamics in labor-market analysis and provides insights for policies aiming to boost female labor supply and reduce wage inequality.

description: We study systematically stationary solutions to the coupled Vlasov and Poisson equations which have `self-similar' or scaling symmetry in phase space. In particular, we find analytically {\it all} spherically symmetric distribution functions where the mass density and gravitational potential are strict power laws in $r$, the distance from the symmetry point. We treat as special cases, systems built from purely radial orbits and systems that are isotropic in velocity space. We then discuss systems with arbitrary velocity space anisotropy finding a new and very general class of distribution functions. These distributions may prove useful in modelling galaxies. Distribution functions in cylindrical and planar geometries are also discussed. Finally, we study spatially spheroidal systems that again exhibit strict power-law behaviour for the density and potential and find results in agreement with results published recently.

Target Sequence Clustering

Subjects: subject: 170203 Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Researchers have discovered many successful algorithms and methodologies for solving problems at the intersection of machine learning and education research. This umbrella category, “educational data mining,” has enjoyed a series of successes that span the research process, from post-hoc data analysis that generates models to the use of those models in successful educational interventions. However, most of these successes have arisen from the use of pre-existing psychological and educational constructs (e.g., guessing) and thus from the use of semi-supervised or fully-supervised machine learning algorithms. Algorithms for novel discovery, also known as unsupervised clustering, have enjoyed significantly fewer successes in this domain, partially because education data exhibit unique, complex structure. This thesis is a mixture of algorithm development, simulation, and experimentation on real-world data, all designed to define and test a novel paradigm for clustering in education (and a range of other domains). This paradigm, target clustering, revolves around the inclusion of high-level targets, such as student learning from pre-test to post-test. This approach differs from other existing machine learning approaches in that it is designed completely, from the initial concept to the final execution, for solving educational research problems, taking advantage of the structural complexities that are problematic for other algorithms. This thesis includes a range of data sets drawn from a variety of research domains, but does not include new data from experiments in the psychological sense.1 However, the thesis includes analysis of methodology, results, and implications from an educational research perspective and relies entirely on education data and research problems.

description: Weak gravitational lensing measurements from the large-scale structure of the Universe probe the growth of structures at different epochs, thereby providing information about the mysterious dark energy component. Wide-field redshift surveys such as WFIRST, Euclid and LSST will image the sky and collect an unprecedented amount of data. The decrease in the statistical errors must necessarily be accompanied by an increase in our understanding of systematic errors. The sources of the systematic errors could be i) astrophysical, such as intrinsic alignments, failure to account for the complex morphology of the galaxies when estimating lensing distortions, or could be ii) foreground effects such as the Point Spread Function (PSF) or imperfections from the detectors etc. The systematic errors are estimated by testing the shear estimation pipeline on mock galaxy images that are forward-simulated from first principles. The simulated galaxy images must have realistic properties for the estimates of the systematic biases to be accurate. In this thesis, I describe in detail the work done towards incorporating in the image simulations some of the detector effects relevant for WFIRST and understanding the limitations of using images from narrow surveys, such as COSMOS, as input into image simulations for wide field surveys.

Constraining the ejecta for the nonthermal emission from GW170817

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We consider a simple model for the nonthermal emission from GW170817, in which a quasi-spherical ejecta is released in the merger event, with the kinetic energy distributed over the momentum as $E(>γβ)\propto(γβ)^{-k}$. The ejecta drives a shock into the medium and gives rise to synchrotron radiation. Using multi-band observations we constrain that $k\approx6.7$; (assuming medium density of $\sim10^{-2}\rm cm^{-3}$ and postshock magnetic field carries a fraction $10^{-5}-10^{-3}$ of the postshock internal energy) the total kinetic energy is $(0.3-5)\times10^{51}$erg; the slowest ejecta velocity is $\sim(0.7-0.8)c$; and the fastest ejecta has a Lorentz factor of $\sim4-7$. We conclude that the sub-relativistic dynamical ejecta responsible to the kilonova cannot produce the nonthermal emission. The co-existence of the nonthermal and thermal kilonova emission implies that two corresponding ejecta are ejected at different angles.

Systematic and Scalable Testing of Concurrent Programs

Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The challenge this thesis addresses is to speed up the development of concurrent programs by increasing the efficiency with which concurrent programs can be tested and consequently evolved. The goal of this thesis is to generate methods and tools that help software engineers increase confidence in the correct operation of their programs. To achieve this goal, this thesis advocates testing of concurrent software using a systematic approach capable of enumerating possible executions of a concurrent program. The practicality of the systematic testing approach is demonstrated by presenting a novel software infrastructure that repeatedly executes a program test, controlling the order in which concurrent events happen so that different behaviors can be explored across different test executions. By doing so, systematic testing circumvents the limitations of traditional ad-hoc testing, which relies on chance to discover concurrency errors. However, the idea of systematic testing alone does not quite solve the problem of concurrent software testing. The combinatorial nature of the number of ways in which concurrent events of a program can execute causes an explosion of the number of possible interleavings of these events, a problem referred to as state space explosion. To address the state space explosion problem, this thesis studies techniques for quantifying the extent of state space explosion and explores several directions for mitigating state space explosion: parallel state space exploration, restricted runtime scheduling, and abstraction reduction. In the course of its research exploration, this thesis pushes the practical limits of systematic testing by orders of magnitude, scaling systematic testing to real-world programs of unprecedented complexity.

description: For configurational changes of soft matter systems affected or caused by external hydrodynamic flow, we identify applied work, exchanged heat, and entropy change on the level of a single trajectory. These expressions guarantee invariance of stochastic thermodynamics under a change of frame of reference. As criterion for equilibrium \textit{vs.} nonequilibrium, zero \textit{vs.} nonzero applied work replaces detailed balance \textit{vs.} nonvanishing currents, since both latter criteria are shown to depend on the frame of reference. Our results are illustrated quantitatively by calculating the large deviation function for the entropy production of a dumbbell in shear flow.

description: We study the attractive Hubbard model with spin imbalance on two lattices featuring a flat band: the Lieb and kagome lattices. We present mean-field phase diagrams featuring exotic superfluid phases, similar to the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, whose stability is confirmed by dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The nature of the pairing is found to be richer than just the Fermi surface shift responsible for the usual FFLO state. The presence of a flat band allows for changes in the particle momentum distributions at null energy cost. This facilitates formation of nontrivial superfluid phases via multiband Cooper pair formation: the momentum distribution of the spin component in the flat band deforms to mimic the Fermi surface of the other spin component residing in a dispersive band. The Fermi surface of the unpaired particles that are typical for gapless superfluids becomes deformed as well. The results highlight the profound effect of flat dispersions on Fermi surface instabilities, and provide a potential route for observing spin-imbalanced superfluidity and superconductivity.

description: This document presents the results of archaeological monitoring during ground-disturbing activities for the installation of concrete footers. The project involved the excavation of three holes for footers, each one 0.46 m deep. LSD monitored the ground-disturbing activities as the property is located within the boundaries of Leo’s Site, P:3:8(GP). Archaeological monitoring was conducted during the ground-disturbing activities related to the installation of concrete footers along the southern margin of the front porch of a private residence. The project archaeologist examined the exposed substrate to assess whether intact cultural deposits were present. No cultural resources were identified during monitoring.

description: We develop a behavioral asset pricing model in which agents trade in a market with information friction. Profit-maximizing agents switch between trading strategies in response to dynamic market conditions. Due to noisy private information about the fundamental value, the agents form different evaluations about heterogeneous strategies. We exploit a thin set---a small sub-population---to pointly identify this nonlinear model, and estimate the structural parameters using extended method of moments. Based on the estimated parameters, the model produces return time series that emulate the moments of the real data. These results are robust across different sample periods and estimation methods.

Chern-Simons Solitons, Toda Theories and the Chiral Model
Creators: name: Dunne, Gerald
name: Jackiw, Roman
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The two-dimensional self-dual Chern--Simons equations are equivalent to the conditions for static, zero-energy solutions of the $(2+1)$-dimensional gauged nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Chern--Simons matter-gauge dynamics. In this paper we classify all finite charge $SU(N)$ solutions by first transforming the self-dual Chern--Simons equations into the two-dimensional chiral model (or harmonic map) equations, and then using the Uhlenbeck--Wood classification of harmonic maps into the unitary groups. This construction also leads to a new relationship between the $SU(N)$ Toda and $SU(N)$ chiral model solutions.

description: We report discovery of 41 new high-z quasars and luminous galaxies, which were spectroscopically identified at 5.7 < z < 6.9. This is the fourth in a series of papers from the Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs) project, based on the deep multi-band imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program survey. We selected the photometric candidates by a Bayesian probabilistic algorithm, and then carried out follow-up spectroscopy with the Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Subaru Telescope. Combined with the sample presented in the previous papers, we have now spectroscopically identified 137 extremely-red HSC sources over about 650 deg2, which include 64 high-z quasars, 24 high-z luminous galaxies, 6 [O III] emitters at z ~ 0.8, and 43 Galactic cool dwarfs (low-mass stars and brown dwarfs). The new quasars span the luminosity range from M1450 ~ -26 to -22 mag, and continue to populate a few magnitude lower luminosities than have been probed by previous wide-field surveys. In a companion paper, we derive the quasar luminosity function at z ~ 6 over an unprecedentedly wide range of M1450 ~ -28 to -21 mag, exploiting the SHELLQs and other survey outcomes.

Lady Business: self-service health care in the women’s restroom
Creators: name: Miller, Jessamyn
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Design

description: Women work very hard to take care of their female health. Perhaps a little too hard. To help women better meet their everyday health needs without skipping a beat, the Lady Business project asked if ordinary restroom vending machines could be developed to offer a wider range of products, including some that don’t yet exist. I researched the current experiences of women accessing contraception, seeking treatment for common infections, receiving care at clinics and pharmacies and spent a fair amount of time poking around women’s public restrooms. Women I interviewed expressed frustrations with the way they currently obtain female health care. Long waits, feelings of shame and lack of access to needed products are common complaints. The Lady Business self-service female health care concept I designed was created with a do‑it‑yourself (DIY) attitude in mind. By making products such as self-diagnostic kits and contraceptions more available, the self-service could empower women to take responsibility for their health by giving them tools to monitor and care for themselves. Surprisingly, much of the medical technology desired in these products already exists, but women either didn’t know about it or it simply isn’t offered. To bring the Lady Business idea to life, I conducted workshops with women to develop aspects of the self-service. Then I designed prototypes of the vending machine and products to be sold inside, based on their needs and suggestions.
