To Trust or Not to Trust: Exploring Legal Control in the Context of Youth Homelessness in Portland, Oregon
Creators: name: Zhao, Alisha
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Homeless teenagers

description: Alisha Zhao’s capstone project combines ethnographic research with her interest in art as a medium to explore and bring awareness to youth homelessness in the US. She interviewed youth experiencing homelessness in her hometown, Portland, OR, in order to better understand youth experiencing homelessness and their perceptions on authority, which may affect their willingness or ability to seek institutional support and resources. Alisha's capstone includes a series of oil paintings that depict different forms of homelessness, such as family homelessness, in addition to her ethnographic research. Alisha hopes that this art series can serve as an accessible way of engaging in dialogue about pressing social and human rights issues.
Electronic excitation spectrum of doped organic thin films investigated using electron energy-loss spectroscopy
Creators: name: Roth, Friedrich

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The electronic excitation spectra of undoped, and potassium as well as calcium doped phenantrene-type hydrocarbons have been investigated using electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in transmission. In the undoped materials, the lowest energy excitations are excitons with a relatively high binding energy. These excitons also are rather localized as revealed by their vanishing dispersion. Upon doping, new low energy excitation features appear in the former gaps of the materials under investigation. In K$_3$picene and K$_3$chrysene they are characterized by a negative dispersion while in Ca$_3$picene they are dispersionless.
Quantifying Refugee and Migrant Portrayals in Literature and Media
Creators: name: Quirk, Andrew
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Refugees--Social conditions
subject: Databases
subject: Mass media

description: For his capstone project, Andrew Quirk developed a statistical analysis that examined depictions of refugees in media using NLP & NLU techniques, taking advantage of large datasets of multinational news (scraped using the Python Newspaper3k library) to understand differences in geographic depictions of refugees (Syrian refugee crisis, “African” refugee crisis, etc.). Utilizing existent human rights literature, news sources, and similar data models, Andrew found that language had a huge influence on how refugees were portrayed in various mediums, often being associated with danger and criminality, but also a sense of opportunity. Andrew hopes his project helps uncover nuances in the portrayal of people groups and validate the technique of word embeddings to reveal the unconscious biases that are embedded in news and literature.
The Catalan simplicial set II
Creators: name: Buckley, Mitchell
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Category Theory (math.CT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The Catalan simplicial set $\mathbb{C}$ is known to classify skew-monoidal categories in the sense that a map from $\mathbb{C}$ to a suitably defined nerve of $\mathrm{Cat}$ is precisely a skew-monoidal category \cite{Catalan1}. We extend this result to the case of skew monoidales internal to any monoidal bicategory $\mathcal{B}$. We then show that monoidal bicategories themselves are classified by maps from $\mathbb{C}$ to a suitably defined nerve of $\mathrm{Bicat}$ and extend this result to obtain a definition of skew-monoidal bicategory that aligns with existing theory.
title: Darstellung zu Erfahrungen von Holocaust-Opfern und Überlebenden in den Schulbüchern der 4. Klasse Sekundarstufe I im Unterrichtsfach Geschichte, Sozialkunde und Politische Bildung
Creators: name: Lohr, Matthias-Alexander
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, zu untersuchen, inwiefern auf individuelle Erfahrungen von Holocaust-Opfern bzw. Überlebenden in den Geschichtsschulbüchern der 4. Klasse Sekundarstufe 1 eingegangen wird. Im theoretischen Teil werden grundlegende Begriffe erläutert, anschließend erfolgt im empirischen Teil die Auswertung anhand der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Philipp Mayring. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Schulbücher vorwiegend auf die Erfahrungen in der Zeit während dem Holocaust eingehen, jedoch nur wenig auf das Leben in der Zeit vor und nach dem Holocaust. Da die Masterarbeit einen Teil dazu beitragen soll, bestehende Lücken zu schließen, wurde im fachdidaktischen Teil ein Unterrichtsmaterial für jene Kategorien, welche nicht ausreichend in den Schulbüchern behandelt werden, erstellt. Hierfür wurden die Autobiografien von Lily Ebert, Josef Lewkowicz, Ruth Klüger und Viktor Emil Frankl analysiert und im Unterrichtsmaterial entsprechende Textausschnitte gewählt, die beispielhaft zeigen, welche Wünsche und Ziele die Holocaust-Opfer bzw. Überlebenden vor dem Holocaust hatten, welche individuellen Überlebens- und Bewältigungsstrategien sie wählten und wie ihr Leben nach dem Holocaust aussah. Das erstellte Unterrichtsmaterial soll dazu dienen, den Schüler*innen zu vermitteln, dass es notwendig ist, sich mit mehreren Erfahrungswerten auseinanderzusetzen, da es keine allgemeingültigen Antworten auf das Leben der Holocaust-Opfer bzw. Überlebenden gibt und ihre Handlungs- und Denkweisen nur aus dem jeweiligen Kontext zu verstehen sind.

title: Das leibliche Erleben einer Oxaliplatin induzierten Neurotoxizität und dessen kommunikativer Ausdruck bei Patient*innen mit einem colorectalen Carcinom
Creators: name: Spalt, Martina
Year: 2023

description: Hintergrund: Eine belastende Nebenwirkung im Rahmen einer onkologischen Behandlung ist eine CIPN (Chemotherapie-induzierte periphere Neurotoxizität), die häufig im Kontext einer Oxaliplatin Gabe auftritt. Trotz des hohen Belastungsgrades und der Auswirkungen auf den Alltag, ist das Erleben von Patient*innen und deren kommunikative Äußerung noch wenig erforscht. Auch die Kommunikation rund um dieses Symptom und deren Erfassung wird in der Literatur als inadäquat beschrieben. Zielsetzung: Vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit der Bedeutung des Symptoms auf leiblicher Ebene für die Betroffenen im Alltag. Erforschung von patient*innenzentrierten Deskriptoren als Ausgangsbasis für die Entwicklung eines Edukationsprogrammes. Methode: Es handelt sich um eine qualitative Studie nach Neu- Phänomenologischem Ansatz basierend auf der Leibphänomenologie von Schmitz und Van Manen. Die Auswertung erfolgte anhand der Metaphernanalyse. Conclusio: Patient*innen versuchen sich vor dem Versuch der antagonistisch wechselseitigen Einleibung der personifizierten Neuropathie und ihrer Attribute Kälte, Eis und Schnee zu schützen. Zu diesem Zweck werden Flucht- und Kampfhandlungen eingesetzt. Der Lebensweg wird durch die Neuropathie verändert. Strategische Planung des Alltags reduziert die Exposition und die Auswirkungen der CIPN. Die chronische Form der CIPN wird von Patient*innen im Sinne des Highlightings und Hidings völlig ausgeblendet.

description: Annika Mulaney’s capstone project examined the economic barriers to labor participation among women in India, and how this in turn affects women’s labor supply, gender inequalities in the workforce, and policies that promote women’s participation and equal rights in the workforce. Through her capstone project, Annika also analyzed how a human rights framework can be applied to economic policy to better assess quality and distribution of growth, especially in developing countries. She hopes this project will also contribute to a necessary conversation about patriarchal values, gender roles in various communities, and women’s economic empowerment.
Beyond Big Cities: A Contextual Analysis of Human Trafficking in Salinas
Creators: name: Karamali, Lina
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Human trafficking
subject: Exploitation
subject: Legislative Policies

description: For her capstone project, Lina Karamali focused on issues of human and labor trafficking in California, specifically within the city of Salinas. Driven by a deep concern for the rise of human trafficking cases and statistics, Lina’s project examines legislative measures that have historically aimed to address this issue but with varying outcomes. Using Salinas as a critical case study, Lina demonstrates how anti-trafficking policies and laws can often overlook rural cities, like Salinas, that while not very populous, remain a hub of human trafficking activity. Through her research, Lina hopes to offer policy recommendations that may apply to places like Salinas, which share some commonalities with larger urban centers but also present challenges unique to smaller, rural communities that are agricultural and more isolated.
A singular finite element technique for calculating continuum damping of Alfvén eigenmodes

description: Damping due to continuum resonances can be calculated using dissipation-less ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) provided that the poles due to these resonances are properly treated. We describe a singular finite element technique for calculating the continuum damping of Alfvén waves. A Frobenius expansion is used to determine appropriate finite element basis functions on an inner region surrounding a pole due to the continuum resonance. The location of the pole due to the continuum resonance and mode frequency are calculated iteratively using a Galerkin method. This method is used to find the complex frequency and mode structure of a toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) in a large aspect ratio circular tokamak and are shown to agree closely with a complex contour technique.

Characterizing synthetic antigen-binding fragments for isolation of the TOC complex
Creators: name: Srinivasan, Karthik
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 310112
subject: Structural biology (incl. macromolecular modelling)

description: Protein translocation across the chloroplast outer membrane is essential for photosynthesis in all plants and certain algae. This is because most chloroplast proteins (over 90%) are encoded in the nucleus, translated in the cytoplasm, and must be imported into the chloroplasts to perform their function. The translocon at the outer chloroplast membrane (TOC) complex orchestrates this vital translocation process and consists of three components in plants: Toc75, Toc33/34 and Toc159. Our overall goal is to elucidate the architecture of the TOC complex to gain mechanistic insights into protein translocation into chloroplasts. However, the major bottleneck preventing structure determination of the TOC complex has been the inability to produce or isolate the complex to sufficient yields and purity for structural studies. We began by using phage display to screen for synthetic antigen-binding fragments (sABs) that bind to the soluble POTRA domains of Toc75 from both Arabidopsis thaliana and Pisum sativum. We then characterized the POTRA-sAB interactions using size-exclusion chromatography coupled with small angle X-ray scattering (SEC-SAXS), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography. Finally, we show that we can use an affinity tagged sAB to isolate the TOC complex directly from pea biomass. This study has paved the way for high-resolution structural studies of the TOC complex from plants to understand protein translocation mechanisms.

description: B20 compounds are a class of cubic helimagnets harboring nontrivial spin textures such as spin helices and skyrmions. It has been well understood that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction is the origin of these textures, and the physics behind the DM interaction is the spin-orbital coupling (SOC). However the SOC shows its effect not only on the spins, but also on the electrons. In this paper, we will discuss effects of the SOC on the electron and spin transports in B20 compounds. An effective Hamiltonian is presented from symmetry analysis, and the spin-orbital coupling therein shows anomalous behaviors in anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and helical resistance. New effects such as inverse spin-galvanic effect is proposed, and the origin of the DM interaction is discussed.

description: Graph states are widely used in quantum information theory, including entanglement theory, quantum error correction, and one-way quantum computing. Graph states have a nice structure related to a certain graph, which is given by either a stabilizer group or an encoding circuit, both can be directly given by the graph. To generalize graph states, whose stabilizer groups are abelian subgroups of the Pauli group, one approach taken is to study non-abelian stabilizers. In this work, we propose to generalize graph states based on the encoding circuit, which is completely determined by the graph and a Hadamard matrix. We study the entanglement structures of these generalized graph states, and show that they are all maximally mixed locally. We also explore the relationship between the equivalence of Hadamard matrices and local equivalence of the corresponding generalized graph states. This leads to a natural generalization of the Pauli $(X,Z)$ pairs, which characterizes the local symmetries of these generalized graph states. Our approach is also naturally generalized to construct graph quantum codes which are beyond stabilizer codes.

description: This work combines two fields: translation/interpreting studies and diplomacy. Its main aim is to examine the opinions and evaluations of people working in diplomatic institutions about the translation/interpreting services they are offered, to describe the skills of translators and interpreters that are particularly relevant in this field, and to determine which are sufficient and which need to be improved. In addition, it is intended to investigate the perception of translators and interpreters as experts in diplomatic institutions. It will be determined what influences the perception of translators and interpreters as experts by employees of diplomatic institutions and how it can possibly be improved. The conclusions drawn from the research results, i.e. the identified necessary (not only) translation and interpretation skills in the field of diplomacy and the identified factors that influence the perception of translators and interpreters as experts, can later be taken into account in the professional work or educational process of translators and interpreters.

It is based on generating a top view of the road, filtering using selective oriented Gaussian filters, using RANSAC line fitting to give initial guesses to a new and fast RANSAC algorithm for fitting Bezier Splines, which is then followed by a post-processing step. Our algorithm can detect all lanes in still images of the street in various conditions, while operating at a rate of 50 Hz and achieving comparable results to previous techniques.

description: Boiling is an extremely effective way to promote heat transfer from a hot surface to a liquid due to several mechanisms many of which are not understood in quantitative detail. An important component of the overall process is that the buoyancy of the bubbles compounds with that of the liquid to give rise to a much enhanced natural convection. In this paper we focus specifically on this enhancement and present a numerical study of the resulting two-phase Rayleigh-Bénard convection process. We make no attempt to model other aspects of the boiling process such as bubble nucleation and detachment. We consider a cylindrical cell with a diameter equal to its height. The cell base and top are held at temperatures above and below the boiling point of the liquid, respectively. By keeping the temperature difference constant and changing the liquid pressure we study the effect of the liquid superheat in a Rayleigh number range that, in the absence of boiling, would be between $2\times10^6$ and $5\times10^9$. We find a considerable enhancement of the heat transfer and study its dependence on the bubble number, the degree of superheat of the hot cell bottom and the Rayleigh number. The increased buoyancy provided by the bubbles leads to more energetic hot plumes detaching from the hot cell bottom and, as a consequence, the strength of the circulation in the cell is significantly increased. Our results are in general agreement with recent experimental results of Zhong et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 124501 (2009) for boiling Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

description: Abstract:  The energy utilization in India is ascending in a quick scale, particularly the construction industry which adds to significant energy utilization. A need for energy proficient structures was felt in the past and quantities of structures were built with energy productive highlights in India. Endeavours have been made to study and dissect the first Energy efficient building in Raipur, Chhattisgarh to figure out how energy efficient buildings add to energy saving during inhabitancy. Likewise there is a need in the general public to grasp the significance and benefits of energy efficiency in structures, so structures should be built in enormous scope with energy efficient features regardless of whether the underlying expense of construction is more than the working expense.
Recognizing Humanity: Classifying Certain Discriminatory Practices Against Disabled People as Crimes Against Humanity

Subjects: subject: Disability Rights

description: Brickelle Bro’s capstone project centered on examining the political, social, and historical conditions of people with disabilities and the lack of knowledge surrounding disability rights in the international human rights community. She notes how lack of knowledge and empathy has led this community to face stigma, discrimination, abuse, exploitation, and even violence during intense periods of conflict, underlining how cultural beliefs, institutional practices, and government regimes all contribute to this unfortunate treatment. As people with disabilities across various countries and governments continue to be victims of violence, such as abandonment, mutilation, and even death, Brickelle argues that in order to promote the rights of people with disabilities, the international order must recognize these as human rights violations and crimes against humanity. Through three case studies ranging from the Holocaust, USSR institutionalization, and South Sudan imprisonment laws, Brickelle shows how people with disabilities cannot be protected until harmful institutional and cultural practices are changed.

description: Die Arbeit untersucht die Dominanz des Staates in Indien über konkurrierende Machthierarchien seit der Unabhängigkeit des Landes. Die Arbeit bedient sich der Disziplinen Geschichte, Politikwissenschaft und Recht, um zu zeigen, dass die Gründungsmythologie Indiens und ihre entsprechenden Auswirkungen auf die persönliche Identität vom Staat und seinen Institutionen erfolgreich instrumentalisiert wurden. Die Metapher der Präpotenz in der Genetik wird in dieser Arbeit verwendet, um die Prozesse der Kriminalisierung, Delegitimierung und Assimilierung darzustellen, die dazu geführt haben, dass eine solche Dominanz unangefochten bleibt. Dies wird durch den Vergleich von Quellen untersucht, die die Zugehörigkeit zu diesen Hierarchien und die Hinterlassenschaften verehrter Figuren innerhalb dieser Hierarchien beschreiben. Die Dissertation wägt somit diese unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen an die Legitimität des Staates und seine anhaltende Hegemonie ab.
description: The thesis explores the dominance of the State in India over competing hierarchies of power since its Independence. The thesis employs the disciplines of History, Political Science and Law to demonstrate that India’s founding mythology and its corresponding effects on personal identities have been successfully instrumentalized by the State and its Institutions. The metaphor of prepotency in genetics is deployed in the thesis in order to represent the processes of criminalization, delegitimization and assimilation that has resulted in such a dominance going unchallenged. Such is explored through comparing sources describing membership within those hierarchies and the legacies of venerated figures within these hierarchies. The thesis thus weighs these disparate challenges to the legitimacy of the State to its enduring hegemony.

description: We study anomalous charged fluid in $2n$-dimensions ($n\geq 2$) up to sub-leading derivative order. Only the effect of gauge anomaly is important at this order. Using the Euclidean partition function formalism, we find the constraints on different sub-leading order transport coefficients appearing in parity-even and odd sectors of the fluid. We introduce a new mechanism to count different fluid data at arbitrary derivative order. We show that only the knowledge of independent scalar-data is sufficient to find the constraints. In appendix we further extend this analysis to obtain fluid data at sub-sub-leading order (where both gauge and gravitational anomaly contribute) for parity-odd fluid.

description: Collective structures in 172Pt have been investigated by measuring in-beam γ rays with mass selection and the recoil-decay tagging technique. The discrepancy in the ground-state band from previous studies has been resolved, and a new collective structure that is likely based on an octupole vibration has been identified. A band mixing model is used to determine the properties of the competing near-spherical and deformed ground-state sequences in the light Os-Pt-Hg-Pb region. Evidence for a reduction of deformation in the deformed vacuum structure below N=98 is presented.

description: It can be dangerous for a pilot to attempt to land an aircraft safely in poor visibility conditions such as rain, fog, haze, snow and low light, but external imagery of a runway can be enhanced to provide increased situational awareness. Objects that are detected in a scene may or may not be a hazard, so interpretation is left to the pilot. In order to detect whether an object is a hazard to safe landing, it is necessary to determine whether the object is on the runway. For this purpose, two image segmentation algorithms: histogram based d-peak algorithm and local feature based quadtree algorithm have been implemented in this thesis. The purpose of image segmentation here is to separate the objects of interest from the background. Several algorithms and techniques have been developed for image segmentation, but there is no general solution. Several of these techniques may be combined to effectively solve an image segmentation problem. The d-peak algorithm is a histogram based method. Histogram Based methods are very efficient when compared with the other image segmentation techniques because they require only one pass through the pixels. In the quadtree segmentation algorithm, a full tree is formed by splitting a single parent node into four children or quadrants, and all descendants are recursively split by iteratively testing conditions for splitting the blocks until some minimum bound is reached. The parameters considered for splitting the parental blocks here are mean, standard deviation and the size of the block.

description: The half-life of the known I,Kπ=4-,4- state in 170Er has been measured to be 42.8±1.7 ns. The rotational band built on this isomer was excited inelastically up to spin 18- by a 238U beam at Elab=1358 MeV. A similar band in 168Er was extended to spin 15-. The wave function of the isomeric state in 170Er has been determined from the measured |gK-gR| values, which were deduced from the intensity ratios of the ΔI=1 to δI=2 transitions within the band. The dominant component consists of a two-quasiproton configuration involving the Nilsson orbits 7/2-[523] and l/2+[411]. In contrast, the two-quasineutron configuration involving the 7/2+[633] and 1/2 -[521] Nilsson orbits constitutes the major component for the wave function of the Kπ=4- isomer in 168Er.

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit stehen die Meinungen von aktiv tätigen Lehrpersonen in der Primarstufe zu gendergerechtem und -inklusivem Sprachgebrauch im Fokus. Es soll herausgefunden werden, wie diese Lehrpersonen ihr eigenes Sprachverhalten wahrnehmen, welchen persönlichen Wert sie auf Gendergerechtigkeit und -inklusion legen, und in weiterem Sinne, ob schulintern Maßnahmen zur Verwirklichung dieser Ziele gesetzt werden. Aus diesem Grund wurden mit fünf Lehrpersonen der Primarstufe Leitfadeninterviews durchgeführt, die mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet wurden. Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass sich genderstereotype Denkmuster allmählich auflösen, und einzelnen Lehrkräften bewusst ist, welche Auswirkungen ihr Sprachverhalten auf die Schüler*innen hat. Dennoch zeigt sich auch, dass das Genderwissen an den Schulstandorten grundsätzlich gering ist, und keine oder zu wenige schulinterne Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Queersensibilität und Genderkompetenz bei den Lehrpersonen angestrebt werden.

Creators: name: Iyer, Christopher
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Drug addiction
subject: Neurosciences--Moral and ethical aspects
subject: Racism in the social sciences

description: In his capstone thesis, Christopher Iyer examines the pitfalls of applying modern psychology and neuroscience to racism, addiction, and criminality. He considers how the individual-focused methods of brain science have "over-individualized" our views of (and proposed solutions to) these issues, obscuring structural and environmental root causes. Moreover, he criticizes how applying brain science to these issues has "over-neuralized" them, leading us to believe that racism, addiction and crime should be understood (and intervened upon) as features of our brains—divorced from social conditions, and divorced even from ourselves as empowered agents. Scapegoating the brain allows us to show mercy towards individuals without grappling with collective responsibility for the conditions of social injustice truly at the heart of racism, addiction, and criminality. Finally, he outlines recommendations for conscientious and socially embedded brain science research that is responsive to social injustice.

description: Magnetic phases for the intermetallic compound NdMn1.4Co0.6Si2 have been investigated at various temperatures by dc magnetization, neutron diffraction and neutron depolarization. Our study shows multiple magnetic phase transitions with temperature (T) over 1.5-300 K. In agreement with dc-magnetization and neutron depolarization results, the temperature dependence of the neutron diffraction patterns shows five distinct regions with different magnetic phases. These temperature regions are (i) T >= 215 K, (ii) 215 K > T >= 50 K, (iii) 50 K > T >= 40 K, (iv) 40 K > T > 15 K, and (v) T =< 15 K. The corresponding magnetic structures are paramagnetic, commensurate collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM-I), incommensurate AFM (AFM-II), mixed ferromagnetic and AFM (FM+AFM-II), and incommensurate AFM (AFM-II), respectively.

description: Excitation functions for sub- and near-barrier total (complete + incomplete) fusion cross sections are presented for the [Formula Presented] reactions. Evaporation residues were identified by their characteristic [Formula Presented] rays and the corresponding yields measured with both the IReS Garel [Formula Presented] array at the Vivitron facility and with the São Paulo Ge array at the 8UD Pelletron tandem facility using standard γ-ray techniques. The data extend to medium-mass systems previous works exploring the coupling effects (hindrance versus enhancement) in fusion reactions of both lighter and heavier systems. The results indicate a small enhancement of total fusion for the more weakly bound [Formula Presented] at sub-barrier energies, with similar cross sections for both reactions at and above the barrier.

Experience of Psychosis and Homelessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Hospitalized Patients
Creators: name: Lebovitz, Julia
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: COVID-19 (Disease)
subject: Homeless persons--Housing

description: For her capstone project, Julia Lebovitz wrote a research paper studying the dire effects COVID-19 has had on populations experiencing homelessness and psychosis. Julia conducted qualitative interviews with inpatient participants who were currently experiencing homelessness and psychosis at the Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on this community. Her project identified various factors affecting this diagnosis such as socio-political rhetoric, lack of safety, and lack of health access, among others. Julia hopes to show how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced some individuals with serious mental illness experiencing homelessness and demonstrate the importance of secure and safe housing as a human right.
Two-Stage Beamformer Design for Massive MIMO Downlink By Trace Quotient Formulation
Creators: name: Kim, Donggun
name: Lee, Gilwon

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, the problem of outer beamformer design based only on channel statistic information is considered for two-stage beamforming for multi-user massive MIMO downlink, and the problem is approached based on signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR). To eliminate the dependence on the instantaneous channel state information, a lower bound on the average SLNR is derived by assuming zero-forcing (ZF) inner beamforming, and an outer beamformer design method that maximizes the lower bound on the average SLNR is proposed. It is shown that the proposed SLNR-based outer beamformer design problem reduces to a trace quotient problem (TQP), which is often encountered in the field of machine learning. An iterative algorithm is presented to obtain an optimal solution to the proposed TQP. The proposed method has the capability of optimally controlling the weighting factor between the signal power to the desired user and the interference leakage power to undesired users according to different channel statistics. Numerical results show that the proposed outer beamformer design method yields significant performance gain over existing methods.

Trauma-Informed Practices for Teachers of Refugee Students
Creators: name: Ball, April
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Psychic trauma in children
subject: Immigrants
subject: Refugee children
subject: Mental health services

description: April Ball centered her capstone project on creating a compilation of the available literature on trauma informed care for immigrant and refugee populations. This included an analysis of the impact of trauma on children and a practical list of tangible skills and practices teachers can employ when working with traumatized children. Informed by her time as a student in HUMRTS 108- Advanced Spanish Service-Learning: Migration, Asylum, and Human Rights at the Border, April recognizes how trauma can detrimentally affect people’s lives if not managed correctly and staunchly believes mental healthcare is not only a human right, but necessary and essential in the recovery and integration process for refugee communities. With this research, April hopes to contribute to the expanding field of trauma informed care and hopes to contribute to a cohesive understanding of the intersection between immigrant rights and mental health.
Euclidean Dynamical Symmetry in Nuclear Shape Phase Transitions

description: The Euclidean dynamical symmetry hidden in the critical region of nuclear shape phase transitions is revealed by a novel algebraic F(5) description. With a nonlinear projection, it is shown that the dynamics in the critical region of the spherical--axial deformed and the spherical--$γ$ soft shape phase transitions can indeed be manifested by this description, which thus provides a unified symmetry--based interpretation of the critical phenomena in the region.

Investigating Patient Quality of Life in San Francisco Homeless Health Facilities: An Architectural Exploration
Creators: name: Coleman-Belin, Janet
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Architectural design
subject: Homeless persons
subject: Public health

description: For her capstone project, Janet Coleman-Belin designed a healthcare facility that would provide critical resources to individuals experiencing homelessness in the Bay Area. Drawing upon her skills in Engineering and Architectural Design, Janet developed architectural plans, sections, and elevations; utilized a 3D computerized model in Revit (an industry standard building modeling program); and created a narrative explaining the spatial design decisions. Janet also consulted health design literature and first-hand accounts from various clinic staff as a way of fully creating a holistic architectural design. Her goal with this project is to envision a multi-level and multi-use community resource equipped with essential health, educational, and social resources dedicated to assisting homeless populations.
Protostellar Jets Enclosed by Low-velocity Outflows
Creators: name: Machida, Masahiro N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A protostellar jet and outflow are calculated for \sim 270 yr following the protostar formation using a three dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulation, in which both the protostar and its parent cloud are spatially resolved. A high-velocity (\sim100km/s) jet with good collimation is driven near the disk's inner edge, while a low-velocity (<10km/s) outflow with a wide opening angle appears in the outer-disk region. The high-velocity jet propagates into the low-velocity outflow, forming a nested velocity structure in which a narrow high-velocity flow is enclosed by a wide low-velocity flow. The low-velocity outflow is in a nearly steady state, while the high-velocity jet appears intermittently. The time-variability of the jet is related to the episodic accretion from the disk onto the protostar, which is caused by gravitational instability and magnetic effects such as magnetic braking and magnetorotational instability. Although the high-velocity jet has a large kinetic energy, the mass and momentum of the jet are much smaller than those of the low-velocity outflow. A large fraction of the infalling gas is ejected by the low-velocity outflow. Thus, the low-velocity outflow actually has a more significant effect than the high-velocity jet in the very early phase of the star formation.
