description: In dit hoofdstuk wordt ingegaan op de samenwerking tussen woningcorporaties en beleggers waarbij middeldure huur, ofwel middenhuur, centraal staat. Er wordt antwoord gegeven op de volgende onderzoeksvraag: “Op welke andere samenwerkingswijze kunnen woningcorporaties, institutionele beleggers en gemeenten elkaar stimuleren om te investeren in nieuwe huurwoningen in het middensegment, teneinde daarmee bij te dragen aan gemengde wijken in stedelijke vernieuwing en een meer evenwichtige woningmarkt?” Met huurwoningen in het middensegment, ofwel middenhuur, wordt in dit onderzoek bedoeld middeldure huurwoningen met een maandhuur vanaf de tweede aftoppingsgrens. Deze grens geldt voor huishoudens van drie of meer personen en wordt jaarlijks verhoogd. De tweede aftoppingsgrens lag in 2016 op circa € 630 en is de afgelopen jaren opgetrokken naar circa € 650 (prijspeil 2019). De minimum- en maximumgrenzen van middenhuur verschillen regionaal. In het algemeen wordt € 1.000 als maximumgrens gehanteerd (VNG, 2017). Om inzicht te krijgen in deze vraag worden de volgende deelvragen onderscheiden. Onder welke voorwaarden zijn institutionele beleggers bereid om te investeren in het middensegment vanaf de tweede aftoppingsgrens? Hoe is het voor woningcorporaties acceptabel te maken om zich terug te trekken tot aan de tweede aftoppingsgrens voor drie- en meerpersoonshuishoudens? Draagt samenwerking tussen institutionele beleggers en corporaties bij aan meer investeringen in het middensegment in stedelijke vernieuwingswijken? Op welke wijze kan de gemeente hieraan bijdragen? In relatie tot deze deelvragen zijn vijf veronderstellingen geformuleerd op basis van literatuuronderzoek en interviews. Deze worden diepgaand onderzocht aan de hand van een gamesimulatie. De interviews en gamesimulatie hebben plaatsgevonden in de eerste helft van 2016. Op basis van de bevindingen van de gamesimulatie en de interviews wordt de onderzoeksvraag van dit hoofdstuk beantwoord en worden conclusies getrokken. In de volgende paragraaf wordt allereerst de achtergrond en het speelveld in beeld gebracht, waarna in paragraaf 5.3 de interviews worden behandeld. In paragraaf 5.4 en 5.5 komen de opzet en resultaten van de gamesimulatie aan bod. In paragraaf 5.6 worden tot slot conclusies getrokken. Dit hoofdstuk is tot stand gekomen in samenwerking met Inge Oortgiesen in het kader van haar masterthesis Huisvesting voor middeninkomens (Oortgiesen, 2016) waaruit enkele passages en tabellen zijn overgenomen of bewerkt.

description: Silicon direct bonding offers flexibility in the design and development of Si optics by allowing manufacturers to combine subcomponents with a potentially lossless and mechanically stable interface. The bonding process presents challenges in meeting the requirements for optical performance because air gaps at the Si interface cause large Fresnel reflections. Even small (35 nm) gaps reduce transmission through a direct bonded Si compound optic by 4% at $λ= 1.25 \; μ$m at normal incidence. We describe a bond inspection method that makes use of precision slit spectroscopy to detect and measure gaps as small as 14 nm. Our method compares low finesse Fabry-Pérot models to high precision measurements of transmission as a function of wavelength. We demonstrate the validity of the approach by measuring bond gaps of known depths produced by microlithography.

description: In this paper we present a multi-user cooperative protocol for wireless networks. Two sources transmit simultaneously their information blocks and relays employ opportunistically successive interference cancellation (SIC) in an effort to decode them. An adaptive decode/amplify-and-forward scheme is applied at the relays to the decoded blocks or their sufficient statistic if decoding fails. The main feature of the protocol is that SIC is exploited in a network since more opportunities arise for each block to be decoded as the number of used relays NRU is increased. This feature leads to benefits in terms of diversity and multiplexing gains that are proven with the help of an analytical outage model and a diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) analysis. The performance improvements are achieved without any network synchronization and coordination. In the final part of this work the closed-form outage probability model is used by a novel approach for offline pre-selection of the NRU relays, that have the best SIC performance, from a larger number of NR nodes. The analytical results are corroborated with extensive simulations, while the protocol is compared with orthogonal and multi-user protocols reported in the literature.

description: We consider an axiom A diffeomorphism or a Markov map of an interval and the invariant set Ω* of orbits which never falls into a fixed hole. We study various aspects of the symbolic representation of Ω* and of its non-wandering set Ωnw. Our results are on the cardinality of the set of topologically transitive components of Ωnw and their structure. We also prove that Ω* is generically a subshift of finite type in several senses.

description: Dit hoofdstuk behandelt de theoretische perspectieven die in dit onderzoek centraal staan. In paragraaf 3.1 wordt de theoretische achtergrond geschetst. In paragraaf 3.2 wordt ingegaan op het perspectief van de institutioneel-economische benadering. De context van onderhavig onderzoek kent een hoge mate van institutionalisering: de sterk gereguleerde woningmarkt enerzijds en de stringente wet- en regelgeving voor woningcorporaties als maatschappelijke onderneming anderzijds. Als gevolg van deze institutionalisering zijn met name woningcorporaties en de overheid belangrijke actoren die in de huidige situatie veel invloed hebben op de woningmarkt en de stedelijke vernieuwing. In paragraaf 3.3 wordt ingegaan op het andere perspectief dat centraal staat in dit onderzoek: de benadering van de zogenoemde ‘common-pool resources’, ofwel publiek goed. Vanuit de bijzondere rol van woningcorporaties als maatschappelijke onderneming pakken zij het probleem op van kwetsbare wijken in bestaand stedelijk gebied, waarin voorheen publiek werd ingegrepen. In het gedachtengoed van Ostrom (1990) kan het maatschappelijke probleem van de leefbaarheid in stedelijke vernieuwingswijken beschouwd worden als een ‘urban commons’ probleem, waarvoor een interventie gewenst is. Vanuit deze theoretische perspectieven is gekozen voor het zogenoemde Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework van Elinor Ostrom als denkkader voor dit onderzoek, op basis waarvan de analyse van de onderzoeksresultaten plaatsvindt. In paragraaf 3.4 wordt het IAD framework nader toegelicht. Tot slot wordt in paragraaf 3.5 een korte samenvatting van het theoretische kader gegeven.

Implementing Vaccine Hesitancy Screening for Targeted Education
Creators: name: Connors, John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: PROBLEM STATEMENT: Research evidence suggests that the inability to identify concerns of parents who are vaccine hesitant and subsequently give individualized counseling on the identified concerns negatively impacts vaccination rates. Little research has been performed investigating the effect of utilizing a vaccine hesitancy (VH) screening tool in conjunction with provider counseling on specific vaccination concerns. Standardizing the use of a VH screening tool may allow the provider to more appropriately address parental vaccination concerns, thereby leading to an increased parental intent to vaccinate (ITV). PURPOSE STATEMENT: The purpose of this study was to determine whether using a VH screening tool in conjunction with increased provider competency in addressing parental vaccination concerns impacted the parental ITV. METHODS: This study utilized a pre-experimental design (pre-test/post-test) to measure and categorize VH and the ITV. The population for this study included parents of children age 2 months to 6 years that were presenting to the clinic for a well visit. Differences among the categorical VH, the VH score, and demographic data were described. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24® and includes descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistics. RESULTS: The total sample size was 89 with an overall response rate of 15%. Only a minority of parents were identified as vaccine hesitant (20%). Differences between pre-visit and post-visit questionnaires were evaluated and overall showed mean responses for questions that measured specific VH categories had slight increases in the level of VH after the provider-parent discussion. One question (measuring provider trust) showed a significant difference between pre and post-visit questionnaire scores (p = 0.033) with post visit scores showing higher levels of VH. There was a significant effect of age, the number of children in the household, and the level of parental education on the distribution of questionnaire responses. SIGNIFICANCE: The utilization of a VH screening tool used in conjunction with increased provider technical and communication competence in an educated and mildly VH population did not positively affect the level of VH or the parental ITV. It may be that provider education alone is not enough to affect change in a VH parent.

description: Objectives: Reporting bias potentially threatens the validity of results in health technology assessment (HTA) reports. Our study aimed to explore policies and practices of HTA agencies regarding strategies to include previously unpublished data in their assessments, focusing on requests to industry for unpublished data. Methods: We included international HTA agencies with publicly available methods papers as well as HTA reports. From the methods papers and recent reports we extracted information on requests to industry and on searches in trial registries, regulatory authority Web sites and for conference abstracts. Results: Eighteen HTA agencies and seventy-three reports were included. Agencies’ methods papers showed variability regarding requests to industry (requests are routinely carried out in seven cases, not mentioned in six, at the discretion of HTA authors in three, and based on manufacturer applications in two), which were reflected in the reports investigated. As reporting of requests was limited, it often remained unclear whether unpublished data had been received. Searches in trial registries, at regulatory authorities or for conference abstracts are described as a routine or optional part of the search strategy in the methods papers of 9, 11, and 8 included agencies, respectively. A total of 52 percent, 39 percent, and 16 percent of reports described searches in trial registries, at regulatory agencies, and hand searching of conference proceedings. Conclusion: International HTA agencies currently differ considerably in their efforts to address the issue of unpublished data. Requests to industry may constitute one strategy to access and include unpublished data, while agencies can learn from each other concerning successful practice.

description: De afgelopen decennia heeft stedelijke vernieuwing in Nederland, met als doel fysieke en sociale verbetering van achterblijvende wijken, ingrijpende veranderingen doorgemaakt. In 2015 kwam een einde aan het rijksbeleid stedelijke vernieuwing en de rijksbijdrage vanuit het Investeringsfonds Stedelijke Vernieuwing (ISV). Woningcorporaties vormen een belangrijke speler in stedelijke vernieuwing, maar ook hun positie en rol is sterk in beweging. Met de herziening van de Woningwet in 2015 is een eind gekomen aan de verbreding van activiteiten die na de verzelfstandiging van woningcorporaties heeft plaatsgevonden. Woningcorporaties maken een terugtrekkende beweging richting hun kerntaak: het bouwen, verhuren en beheren van sociale huurwoningen. Deze ingrijpende veranderingen roepen verschillende vragen op. Komt de continuïteit van stedelijke vernieuwing in het gedrang door het wegvallen van de rijksbijdrage? Kunnen corporaties binnen de huidige Woningwet nog steeds het voortouw nemen in stedelijke vernieuwing? Onder welke voorwaarden zijn marktpartijen bereid om de stedelijke vernieuwingsopgave op te pakken? Op welke wijze kan de integrale aanpak met sloop/nieuwbouw door woningcorporaties worden doorgezet in samenwerking met gemeenten en marktpartijen?

description: We investigate the optoelectronic properties of single indium arsenide nanowires, which are grown vertically on p-doped silicon substrates. We apply a scanning photocurrent microscopy to study the optoelectronic properties of the single heterojunctions. The measured photocurrent characteristics are consistent with an excess charge carrier transport through mid-gap trap states, which form at the Si/InAs heterojunctions. Namely, the trap states add an additional transport path across a heterojunction, and the charge of the defects changes the band bending at the junction. The bending gives rise to a photovoltaic effect at a small bias voltage. In addition, we observe a photoconductance effect within the InAs nanowires at large biases.

description: This study determined the effect of cleansing solutions on microtensile bond strengths of self-etch adhesives to saliva-contaminated dentin. Seventy five human molars were ground flat to expose mid-depth dentin, and randomly assigned to 5 groups (n=15): no contamination, saliva contamination without cleansing, saliva and cleansing with water, saliva and cleansing with 2% chlorhexidine, and saliva and cleansing with 5% sodium hypochlorite. One third of the specimens in each group (n=5) were bonded with Adper Prompt L-Pop (all-in-one self-etch adhesive), one third with Adper Easy Bond (all-in-one self-etch adhesive), and one third with Clearfil SE Bond (self-etch primer system). Specimens were restored with composite, and processed for microtensile bond strength testing (5-6 rods/tooth). The cleansing solutions were able to cleanse saliva-contaminated dentin without adversely affecting the bond strengths of the self-etch adhesive systems. Our study showed that self-etch adhesive systems are not negatively affected by saliva contamination.

Coupling occupants’ behaviour and natural ventilation potential analysis in the design of a Chinese rural house

Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment
Year: 2019

description: In chapter 11, the VGA analysis method proposed by the author was used for the evaluation of the layout designs of Chinese rural houses proposed by the local government. Type 10 was selected as best design type, because it can most easily achieve thermal summer comfort for occupants in passive ways. The optimised layout has a high potential to achieve natural cross-ventilation, especially in the public spaces, which are important for the local occupants’ thermal summer comfort in hot and humid climates. Chapter 11 also shows occupants’ movement behaviour in the spaces. The public spaces in the house are the most attractive spaces for occupants. This is related to the occupants’ spatial perception. This helps the occupants to enjoy the natural ventilation in the public spaces because there is a high potential to achieve natural ventilation there. In this chapter, the optimised layout design of chapter 11 will be developed for a new rural house design in the studied area. The focus of the design is still on the occupants’ behaviour and natural ventilation potential with respect to the spatial configuration. This study will demonstrate how to use the VGA analysis method for the optimisation of spatial configuration, coupling occupants’ behaviour and natural ventilation analysis to design practice.

description: Face aging simulation has received rising investigations nowadays, whereas it still remains a challenge to generate convincing and natural age-progressed face images. In this paper, we present a novel approach to such an issue by using hidden factor analysis joint sparse representation. In contrast to the majority of tasks in the literature that handle the facial texture integrally, the proposed aging approach separately models the person-specific facial properties that tend to be stable in a relatively long period and the age-specific clues that change gradually over time. It then merely transforms the age component to a target age group via sparse reconstruction, yielding aging effects, which is finally combined with the identity component to achieve the aged face. Experiments are carried out on three aging databases, and the results achieved clearly demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method in rendering a face with aging effects. Additionally, a series of evaluations prove its validity with respect to identity preservation and aging effect generation.

Ab 1910 veröffentlichte Kossinna Karten, auf denen er die Verbreitung archäologischer Funde als gegen einander abgrenzbare Wolken verschiedener Signaturen zeigte. Erst ab den 1920er Jahren markierte er auf Karten Grenzverläufe archäologischer Phänomene und stellte so die von ihm postulierten prähistorischen Kulturprovinzen dar. Indem er dafür mehrere datierbare Grenzverläufe gemeinsam kartierte, visualisierte er schließlich die Wanderungsbewegungen und Besiedlungsabfolgen, die er bis dahin nur verbalisiert hatte.
description: The paper will discuss the presentation of prehistoric migrations by Gustaf Kossinna with the backround of the cartographic traditions and of folkish journalism inside of the German Pre- and Protohistorical archaeology. Kossinna used mostly exclusive linguistic metaphors for such descriptions. Since 1910 Kossinna published maps with the spread of artifacts using definable clouds of different signs. Since the 1920s he finally marked boundaries of archaeological phenomena and depicted also the prehistoric cultural provinces which he had postulated. As he mapped several dateable boundaries he visualized the migrations and sequences of settlements which he formerly only described verbally.

description: Les approches contemporaines de l’éducation doivent répondre à un nombre de tensions suscitées par les changements technologiques, sociaux et économiques. Les questionnements sur la vision de l’apprentissage qui en découlent ont justifié l’implantation des programmes par compétences. Ce changement de paradigme a impliqué des réajustements sur le plan de l’évaluation des apprentissages. À la lumière de ces réalités, il est impératif de se pencher sur les dispositifs de formation au jugement évaluatif et de les bonifier. Inspiré par les points de convergence entre le développement du jugement clinique des médecins et celui du jugement en évaluation, Dionne (2005) a développé un instrument intitulé le test de jugement professionnel en évaluation des apprentissages (TJPEA). Composé de situations authentiques, il vise à mesurer le niveau de jugement des étudiants à la formation des maitres en contexte formatif. Cette étude exploratoire qualitative interprétative a été menée auprès de douze participants catégorisés en trois profils différents : quatre étudiants de première année à la formation des maîtres au secondaire (novices), quatre enseignants d’expérience oeuvrant dans une école secondaire québécoise (praticiens) et quatre professeurs universitaires spécialisés en évaluation des apprentissages (experts). Les données recueillies via la passation orale d'un TJPEA ont permis de (1) contribuer à identifier les différents facteurs susceptibles d’influencer le jugement professionnel en évaluation des répondants, (2) de comprendre davantage la dynamique de progression du développement de la compétence à évaluer, notamment en identifiant les différents schèmes de pensée entre les profils de répondants et (3) ressortir les différents obstacles à l’exercice du jugement évaluatif des sujets. Même si nous sommes conscients que les résultats obtenus à cette étude ne sont pas généralisables en raison de son échantillon limité, il est tout de moins possible d’en faire découler de nouvelles avenues de recherche. Cela nous permettra éventuellement de proposer des solutions à la relève enseignante et de favoriser le développement d’un jugement en évaluation juste et équitable pour les élèves.
Measurements of the t-tbar production cross section in lepton+jets final states in pp collisions at 8 TeV and ratio of 8 to 7 TeV cross sections

description: A measurement of the top quark pair production (t-tbar) cross section in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV is presented using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 inverse femtobarns. This analysis is performed in the t-tbar decay channels with one isolated, high transverse momentum electron or muon and at least four jets, at least one of which is required to be identified as originating from hadronization of a b quark. The calibration of the jet energy scale and the efficiency of b jet identification are determined from data. The measured t-tbar cross section is 228.5 +/- 3.8 (stat) +/- 13.7 (syst) +/- 6.0 (lumi) pb. This measurement is compared with an analysis of 7 TeV data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns, to determine the ratio of 8 TeV to 7 TeV cross sections, which is found to be 1.43 +/- 0.04 (stat) +/- 0.07 (syst) +/- 0.05 (lumi). The measurements are in agreement with QCD predictions up to next-to-next-to-leading order.

Methods of spatial analysis for natural ventilation potential

Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment

description: The basic theory of space syntax was described in section 2 of chapter 9. Some methods have been developed from the theory of spatial analysis to explore the spatial structure of buildings and cities. The DepthmapX-one graph-based representations and measures program (Turner, 2001) is one of the most important platforms for space syntax analysis. Convex and axial analysis, isovist and VGA analysis, as well as segment analysis are the methods involved in this programme (Al_Sayed, Turner, Hillier, Iida, & Penn, 2014). The axial and segment analysis are more suitable for the analysis at the urban scale. The convex analysis is suitable for the building scale and isovist and VGA analysis are suitable for both urban and building scale. Many cases have been studied to reveal the topological relationship between the spaces which is related to the social behaviour of human in building or urban scale via DepthmapX. In this chapter, the traditional space syntax methods for building spatial analysis used in the Depthmap were discussed firstly. Then, the author shows how to extended the traditional methods for natural ventilation potential analysis.

description: Real life problems such as scheduling meeting between people at different locations can be modelled as distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Suitable and satisfactory solutions can then be found using constraint satisfaction algorithms which can be exhaustive (backtracking) or otherwise (local search). However, most research in this area tested their algorithms by simulation on a single PC with a single program entry point. The main contribution of our work is the design and implementation of a truly distributed constraint solver based on a local search algorithm using Java Agent DEvelopment framework (JADE) to enable communication between agents on different machines. Particularly, we discuss design and implementation issues related to truly distributed constraint solver which might not be critical when simulated on a single machine. Evaluation results indicate that our truly distributed constraint solver works well within the observed limitations when tested with various distributed CSPs. Our application can also incorporate any constraint solving algorithm with little modifications.

description: Für Vertrieb und Handel von Stromversorgungsunternehmen werden neuartige Betriebsführungsstrategien für ausgewählte Verbraucher entwickelt. Vielfältige, das Stromangebot beeinflussende Faktoren (wie z. B. Stromerzeugung, Börsenpreise oder Fahrplanabweichungen) werden in einem Modell so zusammengefasst und mit schaltbaren Lasten gekoppelt, dass sowohl ein Überangebot als auch ein Unterangebot von Strom mittels verlässlich vorgegebener Fahrpläne über die Verbraucherseite ausgeglichen werden kann.

description: In the early design stages, architects are in constant search of a design direction that can determine the success or failure of the final design. However, in real design practice, most of the prediction methods for building performances, in this paper energy and thermal comfort, are utilised in the later design stages. Spatial configuration is one of the most important issues for architectural design in the early design stage. This study investigates the correlations between the spatial indicators connected with architectural design and the building physics indicators ventilation performance and energy performance. The main objective is to explore the potential of applying spatial indicators using space syntax to predict ventilation performance and energy performance in order to support architects for the evaluation of their concept and schemes in early design stage. The layout of a high-rise apartment in China in five different cities is chosen as a case study. The results show that the selected three indicators: connectivity value, air change rate and annual cooling saving ratio are linearly correlated, not just at building level but also at room level. R2, the correlation coefficient of determination, is between 0.53 and 0.90 (except for the case of Chongqing at building level).

description: Digitalisierte Prozesse können zukünftig zu einer intelligenten Fertigung beitragen, um den Herausforderungen einer intelligent vernetzten, autonomen Fertigung von sicherheitsrelevanten Integralbauteilen zu begegnen. Die Herausforderungen hierbei liegen insbesondere in der Aufzeichnung und Extraktion von nutzerrelevanten Daten zur Steigerung der Produktivität bei der Fertigung von sicherheitsrelevanten Integralbauteilen für die Luft- und Raumfahrtbranche. An diesem Punkt hat das Verbundforschungsprojekt „TensorMill“ angesetzt. Ziel des Projekts war es, die Produktivität in der spanenden Fertigung sicherheitsrelevanter Integralbauteile durch die Entwicklung und den Aufbau einer intelligent, vernetzten, autonomen Fertigung zu erhöhen und die Prozesssicherheit zu verbessern. Die intelligente Fertigung soll dabei in der Lage sein, auf möglichst viele Situationen im Fertigungsprozess mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) zu reagieren. Für die Implementierung der KI-basierten Lösungen sind im Projekt fortschrittliche Methoden und Vorgehensweisen entstanden, welche es ermöglichen, die Daten von Produktionsmitteln in einer einfachen Form nutzbar zu machen, damit diese einen Mehrwert für Hersteller und Anwender bringen. Die aufbereiteten Daten dienten schließlich der Umsetzung von KI-basierten Lösungen zur prozessparallelen Qualitätsprognose und Werkzeugzustandserkennung. Darüber hinaus wurde ein entwickeltes cyber-physisches Spannsystem entwickelt, um neuartige Ansätze zur Abdrängungskompensation und Echtzeitbewertung der Prozessstabilität zu erforschen.

description: We develop a dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model for neutrino-nucleon reactions in the resonance region, by extending the DCC model that we have previously developed through an analysis of $πN, γN\to πN, ηN, KΛ, KΣ$ reaction data for $W\le 2.1$ GeV. We analyze electron-induced reaction data for both proton and neutron targets to determine the vector current form factors up to $Q^2\le$ 3.0 (GeV/$c$)$^2$. Axial-current matrix elements are derived in accordance with the Partially Conserved Axial Current (PCAC) relation to the $πN$ interactions of the DCC model. As a result, we can uniquely determine the interference pattern between resonant and non-resonant amplitudes. Our calculated cross sections for neutrino-induced single-pion productions are compared with available data, and are found to be in reasonable agreement with the data. We also calculate the double-pion production cross sections in the resonance region, for the first time, with relevant resonance contributions and channel couplings. The result is compared with the double-pion production data. For a future development of a neutrino-nucleus reaction model and/or a neutrino event generator for analyses of neutrino experiments, the DCC model presented here can give a useful input.

Accretion Patterns of Newly Built Marshland

description: Marshes are among the most important ecosystems in the world, but also are rapidly disappearing on a global scale, making it necessary but difficult to understand the processes behind natural marsh building. In this study, 210Pb-derived accretion rates are examined in a marsh at the Newport-River mouth, (NC), a location that has experienced ongoing emergence of new marshland over the past several decades. Accretion rates at all marsh-sampling sites shifted from slow sedimentation emblematic of the bay-bottom to rapid sedimentation that persisted as each site progressed from being an exposed mudflat to eventually becoming a newly colonized marsh table. This transition occurred asynchronously across the marsh and prior to vegetative colonization. This indicates that a physical transition occurred, likely due to a decrease in erosive processes such as wave-stirring. Creating a local regime of quiescence, these transitions promoted accretion and initiated marsh building that continues today.
Can thermal perception in a building be predicted by the perceived spatial openness of a building in a hot and humid climate?

description: The authors wanted to prove that there is a large correlation between the concepts spatial openness and comfort (visual, wind speed and thermal) perception in people’s minds in a hot and humid climate in summer in order to be able to use spatial configuration parameters such as openness, connectivity and depth as a design tool for a comfortable an energy efficient building in the early design stages. 513 local Chinese college architecture students in 2015 were questioned about the relationship between spatial openness and comfort perception. The main findings for a hot and humid climate are: a. spatial openness of a particular space significantly effects occupants’ visual perception, wind speed perception and thermal perception in a particular space (p < .05). b. There is a strong effect size between spatial openness and visual and wind perception (w = .50 and .54); the effect size of the thermal perception is weaker (w = .14). c. The comfort perception is strongly influenced by the time of day, therefore visual perception, wind perception and thermal perception can influence occupant movement between different spaces as is the advice of the adaptive thermal comfort.

Generalized Quantile Treatment Effect: A Flexible Bayesian Approach Using Quantile Ratio Smoothing

description: We propose a new general approach for estimating the effect of a binary treatment on a continuous and potentially highly skewed response variable, the generalized quantile treatment effect (GQTE). The GQTE is defined as the difference between a function of the quantiles under the two treatment conditions. As such, it represents a generalization over the standard approaches typically used for estimating a treatment effect (i.e., the average treatment effect and the quantile treatment effect) because it allows the comparison of any arbitrary characteristic of the outcome's distribution under the two treatments. Following Dominici et al. (2005), we assume that a pre-specified transformation of the two quantiles is modeled as a smooth function of the percentiles. This assumption allows us to link the two quantile functions and thus to borrow information from one distribution to the other. The main theoretical contribution we provide is the analytical derivation of a closed form expression for the likelihood of the model. Exploiting this result we propose a novel Bayesian inferential methodology for the GQTE. We show some finite sample properties of our approach through a simulation study which confirms that in some cases it performs better than other nonparametric methods. As an illustration we finally apply our methodology to the 1987 National Medicare Expenditure Survey data to estimate the difference in the single hospitalization medical cost distributions between cases (i.e., subjects affected by smoking attributable diseases) and controls.
