description: Trees contribute to the aesthetics of roadways but they are also the objects struck in approximately 3,000 fatal crashes annually in the United States. While the removal of roadside trees would undoubtedly reduce the number of fatal crashes with trees, it would not provide for an acceptable aesthetic environment. Balancing the positive aesthetic contribution of trees with the negative highway safety aspects of trees should be addressed in order to maximize both safety and aesthetics where possible. Creating roadway environments that are both safe and aesthetically pleasing requires an understanding of the correlations between various highway design factors and the possibility of a tree crash. Understanding these correlations will allow public policy making agencies to develop tree placement and maintenance procedures which maximize roadside tree preservation and minimize the likelihood of tree crashes. This study determined that rural collectors are the functional classification of road most prone to tree crashes; reviewed several roadway characteristics (i.e., horizontal curve, vertical curve, speed limit, clear zone, tree density, etc.); and determined speed limit, tree density and clear zone contribute most to predicting the locations of tree crashes in Massachusetts. Using this information, a regression equation to predict tree crashes based on highway characteristics was developed and a proposed tree policy for new highway construction and reconstruction, which maximizes the preservation of existing trees and predicts safe locations for proposed tree plantings is presented. Furthermore, a procedure for implementation by maintenance personal, for assessing locations which pose potential risk was developed and is presented.

description: The desirable goal in passenger transportation is moving more people in fewer vehicles. This goal, in respect of road transport, can be attained by encouraging public transport modes like buses by assigning priority. One of the common bus priority measures is provision of reserved bus lanes on major urban roads to facilitate faster movement of buses. This paper is concerned with modification and validation of a recently developed micro simulation model of heterogeneous traffic flow and application of the model to study the impact of provision of reserved bus lanes on urban roads. The impact of introduction of an exclusive bus lane is measured in terms of reduction in speed of other categories of motor vehicles, due to the consequent reduction in road space, over a wide range of traffic volume. The main finding of the simulation experiment is the quantification of the maximum permissible volume to capacity ratio that will ensure a level of service of C for the traffic stream comprising all the motor vehicles, except the buses, on a typical eight lane divided urban road (if an exclusive bus lane is provided under highly heterogeneous traffic conditions, prevailing in Indian cities). Through this study, a framework for justification of providing exclusive bus lane has also been defined. The results of the study indicate that it is possible to introduce exclusive bus lanes on selected urban roads to enhance the level of service of bus, without much of adverse impact on the level of service of other modes of road transport under the stated roadway and traffic conditions. Provision of exclusive road space for buses, will enhance the level of service of buses and this may also result in shift of some of the personal vehicle users to buses. This study is also concerned with estimation of the probable shift of the personal vehicle users to bus due to increase in its level of service after providing exclusive bus lanes. Mode-choice probability curves to depict the probable modal shift of personal vehicle users to bus has been developed, taking the difference in travel times of the two-modes as the basis, to serve as an user friendly, ready-to-refer tool to predict the possible modal shift for a wide range of the values of the involved variables.

description: Canberra, the capital of Australia, is a city with two modes of mechanised passenger travel: traditional bus and automobile. While Canberra is the capital of the country, it is a relatively small city, with a current population of approximately 340,000, and relatively spread out with a low overall average population density. The City has grown rapidly over the past 40 years (its 1960 population was approximately 40,000). There are increasing pockets of traffic congestion as a result, and projected slow but steady growth in coming years will make these pockets worse. The city is a completely planned entity and the original designer, Walter Burley Griffin, incorporated two elements into his urban plan: a series of ‘shops’ to serve each community, allowing for walkability to basic services; and a tram system to link communities. The shops element of the original plan has largely been followed and is roughly incorporated into current development plans which densify the urban core and lay out increased economic and population density in existing communities. However the light rail element was never implemented. Recently the local government (the government of the Australian Capital Territory) submitted a bid to the Australian federal government to fund a light-rail system for the city. This paper examines the issues of serving low and medium density communities with light rail, using Canberra as a case study. The study sets the scene by qualitatively and quantitatively characterising the socioeconomic and demographic profile of Canberra, with a focus on centres of population and economic density; reviews the literature on LRT for low-to-medium density areas, focussing on Australia; and analyses what an LRT in Canberra

description: We present a sample of 171 candidate groups and clusters of galaxies at intermediate redshift over an area of ~550 square degrees at the South Galactic Pole selected by using optically identified radio sources from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey as tracers of dense environment. Out of these 171 candidates, 76 have a counterpart in the literature while 95 of them are previously unknown clusters. This paper presents the cluster selection technique, based on the search of excesses in the optical surface density of galaxies near identified radiogalaxies, and the first spectroscopic results aimed to confirm the presence of a cluster. Spectroscopy for 11 candidates led to the detection of 9 clusters at redshift in the range 0.13 - 0.3, with estimated velocity dispersions ranging from values typical of clusters to those of galaxy groups. These results show that this technique represents a powerful tool for the selection of homogeneous samples of intermediate redshift clusters over a wide range of richness.

description: Current study is focused on the GMT based modelling of the two hadal trenches located in southwest Pacific Ocean, eastwards from Australia: Tonga and Kermadec. Due to its inaccessible location, the seafloor of the deep-sea trench can only be visualized using remote sensing tools and advanced algorithms of data analysis. The importance of the developing and technical improving of the innovative methods in cartographic data processing is indisputable. Automatization in data analysis has been significantly increased over the past years. However, using programming and scripting in cartography still remains lower comparing to the use of the traditional GIS. Therefore, developing GMT-based methods for the geomorphological data processing is crucial for better understanding the landforms of the seafloor. Methodology includes application of the GMT scripting toolset for the automated digitizing of the profiles crossing the trenches in perpendicular direction. A sequence of the GMT codes enabled to visualize raster and vector data, perform geomorphological modelling, descriptive statistical data analysis and quantitative comparison of the two trenches. Using GMT, the bathymetric sample data of the Kermadec and Tonga trenches were modeled, analyzed and compared. The results show deeper bathymetry and more seafloor roughness for the Tonga. Comparing to Kermadec, Tonga Trench has steeper gradient of the profiles. The seafloor geomorphology is strongly affected by a variety of factors that shape actual form of both trenches. The experimental methodology is fully based on the GMT scripting with presented and explained codes.
Reclaiming participation: An ethical struggle played out through design
Creators: name: Gerrard, Victoria
Publisher: name: Loughborough University

description: This thesis explores the everyday phenomenon of using material culture to reclaim participation from deterministic responses to the absurd. Albert Camus (1984) defines the absurd as the paradox of seeking meaning in an inherently meaningless world. He reflects that this often leads individuals to seek solace in deterministic renderings of reality which lack care. This study proposes that everyday design practices respond to these assertions by engaging in an ongoing material dialogue about our relational interdependency. By engaging in what Pelle Ehn (2008) terms "design-after-design" I propose that individuals attempt to (re)turn us to care through the creation of “controversial things”. Preliminary observation of this phenomenon in Indonesia, two textual sources which document the phenomenon in political prisons in Chile and in a refugee camp in Jordan, and from participant observation at a day centre for asylum seekers in South London are studied. Each source was chosen because it represents an example of where material culture is deployed in response to the absurd – or more accurately in response to deterministic responses to the absurd. Through dialogic analysis of “things”, the research sets out to provide insights into how an absurdist perspective, which acknowledges the challenges of seeking meaning in a fundamentally meaningless world, can inform design practices aimed at facilitating a (re)turn to care and the reclaiming of participation.

description: Extant literature on urban renewal and placemaking largely focuses on displacement and/or place of residence; however, much is left unanswered in terms of people’s place identity and dependence in culturally rich social spaces. Thus, this work examines the narratives of Latinx individuals who create meaning through placemaking processes in the gentrified area of La Cuatro, a five-block business strip and Latinx enclave located in the heart of Santa Ana, California. Findings draw from in-depth interviews with twenty Latinx participants who have continually visited La Cuatro for at least the last ten years. Using place identity and place dependence as signifiers, research data show that gentrification displaces and expunges aspects of Latinx culture in La Cuatro, leading to an interruption and elimination of participant’s established place-based connections. The results further highlight how components of personal identity intertwine with placemaking practices and serve as both drivers of inclusion and exclusion in La Cuatro and other spaces. Taken together, this work deepens our current understanding of place-based connections by highlighting the role of ethnicity and culture in place making, and also emphasizes how social spaces serve as facilitators for creating strong community bonds among Latinx participants.

description: Dense matter is usually described using some kind of mean field theory (MFT) model based on Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) extensive statistics. However, in many cases the conditions justifying the use of BG statistics are not fulfilled because the systems considered are explicitly nonextensive. In such cases one either enriches the original MFT by adding some dynamical elements violating extensivity (like, for example, long range correlations or intrinsic fluctuations), or one replaces the BG statistics by its nonextensive counterpart characterized by some nonextensivity parameter q 1 (for q -> 1 one returns to the extensive situation). In this work, using a simple quasi-particle description of dense matter (with interaction modelled by effective fugacities, z) we discuss the mutual interplay of non-extensiveness and dynamics (i.e., q and z).

description: This research examines the cost-efficiencies of heavy rail and bus systems with regard to their per-vehicle and perpassenger- mile operating costs. By looking at how these costs differ between the modes and how they changed during the 1997-2006 period, both nationally and by region of the country, we seek to determine which mode is more economical on an operational basis. Overall, the study found that rail systems cost more to operate than bus systems on a per-vehicle basis, but cost less than bus systems when considering cost per-passenger-mile, a result explained by the higher carrying capacity of railcars as opposed to buses. Furthermore, using theoretical occupancy levels, a threshold occupancy was calculated for rail, beyond which it becomes the more cost-efficient of the two modes.

description: An investigation was carried out on fish landing centers, fish markets and fish fauna of the Mymensingh town to overview the location of the fish landing/entering centers, the source of supply and availability of fisheries organisms in Mymensingh town. The investigation was conducted from October 2009 to September 2010 in sixteen landing centers and markets of Mymensingh town. Among a total of 122 species of fishes were available of which, 113 were finfish and 9 were shellfish. Out of 113 finfish, 85 were freshwater fish species, 14 were exotic species, 14 were marine species, 7 were prawn /shrimps and 2 were mud crab and tortoise. Different types of freshwater fish, marine fish, crustacean and dry fish were found in Mymensingh town. The most abundant freshwater fish species were Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Clarias batrachus, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, Channa punctatus. Among the marine fishes Lates calcarifer, Euthynnus affinis and Mugil cephalus were recorded. The shellfishes, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Penaeus monodon were most abundant. Significant amount of carps were imported from inside and outside of the districts. Besides the carps, small quantities of other fish, e.g, hilsha, catfish, tilapia, small indigenous fish, prawn and shrimp and other fish including marine can be seen in the fish landing centers and fish markets in Mymensingh town. Trains, buses, trucks and pickups were used as transport of fish to the landing centers from outside of Mymensingh town. Virtually most of the fish (84.6 %) were brought from different areas of the district and adjacent district like Netrokona, Jamalpur, Gazipur and Kishoreganj. The rest (15.4 %) were brought from external source in Mechhua bazar, Natun bazar, Sankipara bazar, Charpara bazar and Kathgola bazar. Main source of the fishes were different ponds, haors, beels and rivers of Mymensingh and adjacent districts.

description: In Bangladesh, Adivasi, the indigenous people are of the poorest sections of the society due to their vulnerable livelihoods with lack of resources. Cage based fish fingerling production (CBFFP) was promoted with Adivasi households in the north-east and north-west regions of Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire based survey was conducted with a sample size of 150 CBFFP adopting households to assess the livelihood impacts of CBFFP on the Adivasi households. Geographically, the study represents Sherpur and Netrakona districts from north-east and Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Joypurhat districts from north-west regions of Bangladesh. In terms of socio-economic characteristics, the average household size of Adivasi households was 4.21± 1.28 with day labour (40%) based primary occupation. Majority (64%) of households heads were found illiterate and the remaining with low level education attainment. Most of the Adivasi households depended on a single person’s (household head) income. The average size of ponds in which the cages were set was about 1.2±1.4 hectare with the depth of 1.5-3 m. The cage provided with Adivasi farmer was of 1 m3 in size and made of locally available materials, mainly bamboo made frame, net and plastic bottles as floats. The average cost of a cage construction was about BDT 400±85.2 (USD 5.71±1.2). The fry of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), rui (Labeo rohita), mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Thai sarpunti (Barbonymus gonionotus) were stocked in the cages for fingerling production. The average stocking density was about 875±507 fry/cage (about 3.4cm in length). In average, fingerling production cost was about BDT 268±129.2/cage (USD 3.83±1.8/cage) and selling value was about BDT 431±509.1/cage (USD 6.16±7.2/cage). The major impacts of CBFFP include increased household level income (1.7%), use of this income to buy livestock for rearing further. Moreover, CBFFP impacted positively on other aspects of livelihoods such as purchasing food in lean period, saving money and paying credit. The large size fingerlings produced in the cages were used as food fish for household level consumption. The main constrains of Adivasi households to adopt CBFFP were poaching of fish from cages and variable access to ponds for cage installation.

description: We uncover a local order parameter for measurement-induced phase transitions: the average entropy of a single reference qubit initially entangled with the system. Using this order parameter, we identify scalable probes of measurement-induced criticality (MIC) that are immediately applicable to advanced quantum computing platforms. We test our proposal on a 1+1 dimensional stabilizer circuit model that can be classically simulated in polynomial time. We introduce the concept of a "decoding light cone" to establish the local and efficiently measurable nature of this probe. We also estimate bulk and surface critical exponents for the transition. Developing scalable probes of MIC in more general models may be a useful application of noisy-intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices, as well as point to more efficient realizations of fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: Renormalization of Hamiltonian field theory is usually a rather painful algebraic or numerical exercise. By combining a method based on the coupled cluster method, analysed in detail by Suzuki and Okamoto, with a Wilsonian approach to renormalization, we show that a powerful and elegant method exist to solve such problems. The method is in principle non-perturbative, and is not necessarily unitary.

description: The standard theory of dynamical Coulomb blockade [$P(E)$ theory] in ultra-small tunnel junctions has been formulated on the basis of phase-phase correlations by several authors. It was recently extended by several experimental and theoretical works to account for novel features such as electromagnetic environment-based renormalization effects. Despite this progress, aspects of the theory remain elusive especially in the case of linear arrays. Here, we apply path integral formalism to re-derive the Cooper-pair current and the BCS quasi-particle current in single small Josephson junctions and extend it to include long Josephson junction arrays as effective single junctions. We consider renormalization effects of applied oscillating voltages due to the impedance environment of a single junction as well as its implication to the array. As is the case in the single junction, we find that the amplitude of applied oscillating electromagnetic fields is renormalized by the same complex-valued weight $Ξ(ω) = |Ξ(ω)|\exp iη(ω)$ that rescales the environmental impedance in the $P(E)$ function. This weight acts as a linear response function for applied oscillating electromagnetic fields driving the quantum circuit, leading to a mass gap in the thermal spectrum of the electromagnetic field. The mass gap can be modeled as a pair of exotic `particle' excitation with quantum statistics determined by the argument $η(ω)$. In the case of the array, this pair corresponds to a bosonic charge soliton/anti-soliton pair injected into the array by the electromagnetic field. Possible application of these results is in dynamical Coulomb blockade experiments where long arrays are used as electromagnetic power detectors.

description: The present work advances warranting scholarship by considering the effect of online reviews (in response to organizational self-claims) on organizational attributions offline. An experiment exposed undergraduates (N = 148) to a company’s social media profile, in which a third-party had provided either a positive or negative review of the organization as an employer. Analyses reveal review valence affected perceptions of organizational attractiveness, which subsequently predicted application intentions; and further that effects of positive reviews were moderated by the review’s warranting value. Findings are discussed with respect to warranting theory and practical implications.

description: Recently, the deviation of the ratios $R(D)$, $R(D^{*})$ and $R(J/ψ)$ have been found between experimental data and the Standard Model predictions, which may be the hint of New Physics. In this work, we calculate these ratios within the Standard Model by using the improved instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method. The emphasis is pad to the relativistic correction of the form factors. The results are $R(D)=0.312 ^{+0.006}_{-0.007}$, $R(D^*)= 0.249^{+0.001}_{-0.002}$, $R(D_s)=0.320 ^{+0.009}_{-0.009}$, $R(D^*_s)=0.251 ^{+0.002}_{-0.003}$, $R(η_c)=0.384 ^{+0.032}_{-0.042}$, and $R(J/ψ)=0.267 ^{+0.009}_{-0.011}$, which are consistent with predictions of other models and the experimental data. The semileptonic decay rates and corresponding form factors at zero recoil are also given.

description: An attempt was made from October 2008 to March 2009 in a fish processing industry of Bangladesh (the Sea Resource Limited, Sadarghat, Chittagong) to determine microbial quality of Tenualosa ilisha at different stages of processing. During this investigation Escherichia coli, fecal coliform, vibrio cholerae, Salmonella and total load of bacteria were identified from 5 stages of processing. Those stages were receiving, primary washing stage with 5PPM chlorine water, final washing stage with 10 PPM chlorine water, after blast freezing at -40 ± 20C and finally after one month storage at -18 ± 20C. It was observed that 80.69 % of total bacterial load, 77.29% of total coliform and 58.33 % of fecal coliform were destroyed during different processing stages. There was no evidence of presence of Salmonella and Vibrio cholera at any stages of processing.

description: To investigate the morphological variations 12 morphometric and 11 meristic characters were studied for 100 individuals of the same age of traditional strain GIFT (5th generation) and recently developed 11th generation strain (GIFU) of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. No significant difference was found between total length and other body measurements at 5% level. However, GIFU showed faster linear growth on body depth, maximum body circumference and minimum body circumference where GIFT showed faster linear growth on standard length and head length. On meristic characters, notable variations were observed in case of scale above and below the lateral line, where GIFU individuals showed greater number of scales in both cases. The total length and body weight relationship of both the strains were found to be straight line in logarithmic scales. The mean values of condition factor (K) have been found to be 1.671 for GIFT and 1.711 for GIFU and the mean values of relative condition factor (Kn) were 1.001 and 1.002 for GIFT and GIFU respectively. Findings of the present study suggested the variability of strain GIFU and GIFT in some important parameters.

description: The experiment was conducted to optimize the dose of 17α-methyl testosterone (MT) during masculinization of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry. Five treatments were designed with various doses of hormone to find out the most effective one. The treatments were designated as T1 (0 mg MT/kg), T2 (40 mg MT/kg), T3 (50 mg MT/kg), T4 (60 mg MT/kg) and T5 (70 mg MT/kg). MT was administered orally by using nursery feed and Ethanol (as hormone carrier solvents) diet to tilapia fry for 28 days in hapa. After completion of the trial period of 28 days nursing of the experimental fry was continued for further 2 months with commercial feed. At the end of experiment the sex ratio was determined by examining gonad after dissecting the fish. Growth performance was monitored by recording the morphometric characteristics i.e. weight gain (g), average daily weight gain (g). The analysis of growth data showed significant variation in weight, % weight gain, SGR (% /day) of fish among the different treatments. SGR increases with the increase of hormone dose. The present study demonstrated that all MT receiving treatments showed a significantly (p<0.01) higher male proportion (94.28%) than control (48.57%). The dose of 60 mg MT/kg of feed resulted in maximum male population (94.28%). The result indicated that the optimum dose of MT hormone was 60 mg /kg with a feeding period of 28 days after hatching.

description: Perfect channel estimation is very hard, time/ power consuming, and expensive; so it is not preferred (e.g. in mobile) communication systems. This paper seeks for new, cheap, low complexity, deep learning based solution. Several new combinations of deep learning and conventional structures (in different parts such as constellation shaper, channel estimator, and detector) are presented investigated, and compared over all atmospheric turbulence regimes from weak to strong (considering Gamma-Gamma atmospheric turbulence model). Results indicate that deep learning could provide close enough performance to the perfect channel estimation scheme, and it is immune to the atmospheric turbulence variation. The proposed deep learning based solutions are low cost, low complexity, with favorable performance. Accordingly, they are recommended for channel estimation in mobile communication systems. Because these system should deliver favorable, and cheap services to the costumers, which use a small mobile as transceiver that needs to be cheap, low complexity and low power consuming.

description: A 4-week long feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different protein levels of quality Tilapia (O. niloticus) fry production in Agro-3 Fish Hatchery and Culture Farm, Boilor, Trishal, Mymensingh. Four days old 1247 fry (length 0.8 cm and weight 0.012 g) were stocked at the density of 1560/m2 in twelve synthetic hapas. Four different treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4) in three replications were used having different level of protein containing diets (T1=35.95%, T2=40.43%, T3=45.61% and T4=50.85%) in the experiment. Feeds were supplied to fry at 4 h intervals during 24 h cycle upto satiation level. Sampling was done at 7 days interval throughout the experiment. The best growth was obtained at 35.95% protein level in T1 treatment. Therefore, a follow up second experiment with feeds having protein levels 30.12%, 33.42%, 36.19% and 39.01% encircling the best performed diet (35.95% protein) of the first experiment was conducted. Significantly (P<0.05) higher mean weight gain (g), SGR (%/day), PER, survival rate (%) and lower FCR value were found at 36.19% protein containing diet. Thus, from the results of the two experiments conducted in two consecutive years it can be said that the feed containing approximately 36% protein is the best for the production of quality tilapia fry. If farmers use 36% protein instead of 40% then it will be more economic because fish meal is costly. Further experiment can be carried with feed containing 36% protein from cheaper ingredients other than fish meal to reduce the feed cost.

description: It is shown that the dimension of the multilinear quantum Lie operations space is either equal to zero or included between $(n-2)!$ and $(n-1)!.$ The lower bound is achieved if the intersection of all conforming subsets is nonempty, while the upper bound does if all subsets are conforming. We show that almost always the quantum Lie operations space is generated by symmetric ones. In particular, the space of all general $n$-linear quantum Lie operations does. All possible exceptions are described.

description: Shearing granular materials induces non-affine displacements. Such non-affine displacements have been studied extensively, and are known to correlate with plasticity and other mechanical features of amorphous packings. A well known example is shear transformation zones as captured by the local deviation from affine deformation, $D^2_{min}$, and their relevance to failure and stress fluctuations. We analyze sheared frictional athermal disk packings and show that there exists at least one additional mesoscopic transport mechanism that superimposes itself on top of local diffusive motion. We evidence this second transport mechanism in a homogeneous system via a diffusion tensor analysis and show that the trace of the diffusion tensor equals the classic $D^2_{min}$ when this second mesoscopic transport is corrected for. The new transport mechanism is consistently observed over a wide range of volume fractions and even for particles with different friction coefficients and is consistently observed also upon shear reversal, hinting at its relevance for memory effects.

description: We use Hubble Space Telescope UV and optical spectra of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy Akn 564 to investigate its internal reddening and properties of its emission-line and intrinsic UV absorption gas. We find that the extinction curve of Akn 564, derived from a comparison of its UV/optical continuum to that of an unreddened NLS1, lacks a 2200 A bump and turns up towards the UV at a longer wavelength (4000 A) than the standard Galactic, LMC, and SMC curves. However, it does not show the extremely steep rise to 1200 A that characterizes the extinction curve of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3227. The emission-lines and continuum experience the same amount of reddening, indicating the presence of a dust screen that is external to the narrow-line region (NLR). Echelle spectra from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph show intrinsic UV absorption lines due to Ly-alpha, N V, C IV, Si IV, and Si III, centered at a radial velocity of -190 km/s (relative to the host galaxy). Photoionization models of the UV absorber indicate that it has a sufficient columnand is at a sufficient distance from the nucleus (D > 95 pc) to be the source of the dust screen. Thus, Akn 564 contains a dusty ``lukewarm absorber'' similar to that seen in NGC 3227.

description: LaCoO$_3$ provides a poignant example of a transition metal oxide where the cobalt cations display multiple spin states and spin transitions and which continues to garner substantial attention. In this work, we describe first principles studies, based on DFT+$U$ theory, of superlattices containing LaCoO$_3$, specifically (LaCoO$_3$)$_n$+(LaTiO$_3$)$_n$ for $n=1,2$. The superlattices show strong electron transfer from Ti to Co resulting in Co$^{2+}$, significant structural distortions and a robust orbital polarization of Co$^{2+}$. We predict high-spin Co$^{2+}$ and a checkerboard or G-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state. We provide a detailed analysis of the magnetic interactions and phases in the superlattices. We predict that ferromagnetic order on the Co${2+}$ can be stabilized by hole doping (e.g., replacing La by Sr) which is rather unusual for Co$^{2+}$ cations.
