title: Infiltration and Inflow as a Component of the Urban Water Cycle: Inter-Watershed Comparison of Magnitude and Correlative Watershed Attributes
Creators: name: Murray, Allison
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Infrastructure-mediated flows (IMFs), such as infiltration and inflow (I&I) of precipitation and groundwater into sanitary sewer systems are difficult to measure and complicate the calculation of urban water budgets. Available I&I quantification methods are based on broad assumptions and do not fully exploit the information content of sensor networks and databases commonly administered by watershed management agencies. This study includes detailed calculations of I&I within 14 tributary basins of the South River Watershed, which has its headwaters in the southeastern portion of the Atlanta Metropolitan Region, USA. The analysis leverages a network of approximately 200 flow meters installed within the sanitary pipes maintained by the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management. Results revealed little correlation between I&I and watershed attributes, indicating spatial variability which eliminates watershed attributes as indicators of I&I. It is therefore paramount for water managers to use system wide monitoring programs to mitigate the effects of I&I.
title: Evolution of Composite Heat Vulnerability Indices in Atlanta using Multiple Weighting Mechanics
Creators: name: Karanja, Joseph
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Global surface temperatures are projected to escalate in intensity, duration, and frequency, particularly in urban areas, which are dominated by landscapes of imperviousness, accelerating the Urban Heat Island Phenomena (UHI). Geographies of thermal inequality emerge engendered by disproportionality in socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and variances in the magnitude of heat exposure. This study integrated the biophysical exposure index and the socioeconomic index to generate composite heat vulnerability indices at multiple time scales and applying different weighting mechanics. Outputs of the raster-based and vector-based approaches were compared. Remote sensing indices measuring vegetation health, surface water content, urban imperviousness, and bareness were used to characterize the biophysical metric. The objective was to visualize areas most susceptible accurately and precisely to the Urban Heat Island phenomena while ensuring both scientific and policy applications of the spatial representations.

description: This article introduces the class of continuous time locally stationary wavelet processes. Continuous time models enable us to properly provide scale-based time series models for irregularly-spaced observations for the first time, while also permitting a spectral representation of the process over a continuous range of scales. We derive results for both the theoretical setting, where we assume access to the entire process sample path, and a more practical one, which develops methods for estimating the quantities of interest from sampled time series. The latter estimates are accurately computable in reasonable time by solving the relevant linear integral equation using the iterative soft-thresholding algorithm due to Daubechies, Defrise and De~Mol. Appropriate smoothing techniques are also developed and applied in this new setting. Comparisons to previous methods are conducted on the heart rate time series of a sleeping infant. Additionally, we exemplify our new methods by computing spectral and autocovariance estimates on irregularly-spaced heart rate data obtained from a recent sleep-state study.

description: We analyze the elastic properties, structural effects, and low-energy physics of a sheared nanoribbon placed on top of graphene, which creates a gradually changing moire pattern. By means of a classical elastic model we derive the strains in the ribbon and we obtain its electronic energy spectrum with a scaled tight-binding model. The size of the sheared region is determined by the balance between elastic and van der Waals energy, and different regimes are identified. Near the clamped edge, moderate strains and small twist angles lead to one-dimensional channels. Near the sheared edge, a long region behaves like magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), showing a sharp peak in the density of states, mostly isolated from the rest of the spectrum. We also calculate the band topology along the ribbon and we find that it is stable for large intervals of strains and twist angles. Together with the experimental observations, these results show that the sheared nanoribbon geometry is ideal for exploring superconductivity and correlated phases in TBG in the very sought-after regime of ultralow twist angle disorder.

description: Species' interactions are shaped by their traits. Thus, we expect traits -- in particular, trait (dis)similarity -- to play a central role in determining whether a particular set of species coexists. Traits are, in turn, the outcome of an eco-evolutionary process summarized by a phylogenetic tree. Therefore, the phylogenetic tree associated with a set of species should carry information about the dynamics and assembly properties of the community. Many studies have highlighted the potentially complex ways in which this phylogenetic information is translated into species' ecological properties. However, much less emphasis has been placed on developing clear, quantitative expectations for community properties under a particular hypothesis. To address this gap, we couple a simple model of trait evolution on a phylogenetic tree with Lotka-Volterra community dynamics. This allows us to derive properties of a community of coexisting species as a function of the number of traits, tree topology and the size of the species pool. Our analysis highlights how phylogenies, through traits, affect the coexistence of a set of species. Together, these results provide much-needed baseline expectations for the ways in which evolutionary history, summarized by phylogeny, is reflected in the size and structure of ecological communities.

description: Achieving both high-performance and wide field-of-view (FOV) super-resolution imaging has been attracting increasing attention in recent years. However, such goal suffers from long reconstruction time and huge storage space. Parallel compressive imaging (PCI) provides an efficient solution, but the super-resolution quality and imaging speed are strongly dependent on precise optical transfer function (OTF), modulation masks and reconstruction algorithm. In this work, we propose a wide FOV parallel compressive super-resolution imaging approach based on physics enhanced network. By training the network with the prior OTF of an arbitrary 128x128-pixel region and fine-tuning the network with other OTFs within rest regions of FOV, we realize both mask optimization and super-resolution imaging with up to 1020x1500 wide FOV. Numerical simulations and practical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach. We achieve high-quality reconstruction with 4x4 times super-resolution enhancement using only three designed masks to reach real-time imaging speed. The proposed approach promotes the technology of rapid imaging for super-resolution and wide FOV, ranging from infrared to Terahertz.

title: Competing Spatial Imaginaries and Counterinsurgency in the "Black Mecca": A Case Study of the Ron Carter Patrol
Creators: name: Edgett, Kayla
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: In 1981, Black Atlanta residents organized an armed patrol?the Ron Carter Patrol?at Techwood Homes public housing project to defend their community against the threat of a serial killer, who had murdered over two dozen Black youth. Through archival research and in-depth, semi-structured interviews, I represent competing narratives of the patrol and highlight alternative socio-spatial imaginaries that challenge the myth of Black unity in Atlanta. Emerging from the ongoing social and political organization of residents, the existence and visibility of the patrol presented a threat to state power as the patrol challenged the ?Black Mecca? imaginary. State and nonstate actors, primarily Black politicians and civic leaders, collaborated to enact counterinsurgency measures to suppress the spread of armed Black self-defense and to re-establish the state?s monopoly on violence. This case study helps expand understandings of the reproduction of racial capitalism and the imaginaries of resistance emerging from working-class Black communities.

description: The measured time series from complex systems are renowned for their intricate stochastic behavior, characterized by random fluctuations stemming from external influences and nonlinear interactions. These fluctuations take diverse forms, ranging from continuous trajectories reminiscent of Brownian motion to noncontinuous trajectories featuring jump events. The Langevin equation serves as a powerful tool for generating stochasticity and capturing the complex behavior of measured data with continuous stochastic characteristics. However, the traditional modeling framework of the Langevin equation falls short when it comes to capturing the presence of abrupt changes, particularly jumps, in trajectories that exhibit non-continuity. Such non-continuous changes pose a significant challenge for general processes and have profound implications for risk management. Moreover, the discrete nature of observed physical phenomena, measured with a finite sample rate, adds another layer of complexity. In such cases, data points often appear as a series of discontinuous jumps, even when the underlying trajectory is continuous. In this study, we present an analytical framework that goes beyond the limitations of the Langevin equation. Our approach effectively distinguishes between diffusive or Brownian-type trajectories and trajectories with jumps. By employing downsampling techniques, where we artificially lower the sample rate, we derive a set of measures and criteria to analyze the data and differentiate between diffusive and non-diffusive behaviors. To further demonstrate its versatility and practical applicability, we have applied our proposed method to real-world data in various scientific fields, turbulence, optical tweezers for trapped particles, neuroscience, renewable energy, and market price analysis.
title: Effects of the 2008 Obama Presidential Campaign on White Racial Prejudice
Creators: name: Goldman, Seth K
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2012

description: Research on the importance of race in the 2008 presidential campaign has focused almost exclusively on how white racial prejudice influenced vote choice. Instead, I test a theory about how mass public exposure to Obama influenced white racial prejudice. This is the first study to assess the impact of exposure to Obama on individual-level changes in prejudice using nationally representative panel data collected during the campaign. Throughout the campaign, innumerable images of Obama and his family contradicted negative racial stereotypes and changed the balance of black exemplars in mass media in a positive direction, thus causing reductions in prejudice among political television viewers. Exposure to Obama caused the largest reductions in prejudice among McCain supporters, Republicans, and conservatives. Although these individuals surely resisted Obama’s political message, consistent with previous research, racial exemplars influence judgments without deliberative processing, thus minimizing resistance to counter-stereotypical portrayals. Because conservatives have more negative preexisting images of blacks, exposure to Obama countered their expectations far more than those with more positive expectations. Moreover, consistent with the psychological basis for mediated intergroup contact, even exposure to conservative programs that criticized Obama’s politics reduced prejudice because these programs nonetheless portrayed him as countering negative racial stereotypes. Using three waves of panel data and fixed effects analyses of within-person change, I am able to make the strongest causal argument possible outside of experiments.

description: For a prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in a totally real number field $L$ with the adele ring $\mathbb{A}$, we study the distribution of angles $θ_π(\mathfrak{p})$ coming from Satake parameters corresponding to unramified $π_\mathfrak{p}$ where $π_\mathfrak{p}$ comes from a global $π$ ranging over a certain finite set $Π_{\underline{k}}(\mathfrak{n})$ of cuspidal automorphic representations of GL$_2(\mathbb{A})$ with trivial central character. For such a representation $π$, it is known that the angles $θ_π(\mathfrak{p})$ follow the Sato-Tate distribution. Fixing an interval $I\subseteq [0,π]$, we prove a central limit theorem for the number of angles $θ_π(\mathfrak{p})$ that lie in $I$, as $\mathrm{N}(\mathfrak{p})\to\infty$. The result assumes $\mathfrak{n}$ to be a squarefree integral ideal, and that the components in the weight vector $\underline{k}$ grow suitably fast as a function of $x$.

title: Rare-Earth Element Occurrences in Heavy Mineral Sand, Southeast Georgia
Creators: name: Oladeni, Ibrahim
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: The rare-earth elements (REE) are ?critical metals? per the US DOE based on their widespread use and demand in many industrial technologies. Heavy mineral concentrates and mineral separates were isolated from the heavy mineral sands from Georgia coastal region. These separates and concentrates were studied via geochemical and mineralogical analyses. These heavy mineral sands contained the REE-bearing minerals monazite, and xenotime. The processed heavy mineral concentrates (REMS) contained up to 13 wt. % total REE. These processed heavy mineral sands were enriched in the light rare-earth elements (Sc, La-Eu; LREE). The LREE were found in monazite. The heavy rare-earth elements (Y, Gd-Lu; HREE) were found in xenotime and zircon. There were also enrichments in Sc, actinides (Th and U), and some critical elements (Bi and Nb) relative to their concentrations in the Upper Continental Crust. These sands are one of two sources of REE being mined in the United States.

description: From its outset, the modern nation-state has laid claim to the principle of social legitimacy as its justification for its existence and action. The basic principle is centred on both the rightful delegation of power, from citizens to authorities, and the proper responsiveness of the ruling classes to the needs of its subjects. Along the lines drawn so far, the study springs from the conviction that the social legitimacy of Tanzanian governmental institutions can reinforce their competencies in launching development. However, a closer view reveals that, for the Tanzanian elite, this relationship is not obvious. This is evidenced, at least, within two related profiles of this system. First, from the view of the broad definition of a state, the disclosed mechanisms for the functioning of state institutions make it difficult or even impossible for politically organized citizens to influence the decision-making processes, including processes for the formation of laws. This is demonstrated by the example of homosexual people, perceived in the study as one of the potential pressure groups, whose interests lie abandoned by the legal regulations criminalizing homosexuality. Secondly, the analyses of those aspects of the system of social communication that refer to the discourse on homosexuality indicate functioning of analogous mechanisms. Namely, because of government communication policy, members of the broader society are not properly informed about the issues of homosexuality. Consequently, the overall legitimacy of the political system debases its ability to foster development. The study is based on secondary resources, including the Master Thesis of Claudia Gerard that includes a critical analysis of the public discourses on the social legitimacy of the legal status of homosexuality in Tanzania. Inside of these dis courses, the analysis of the content of written press materials has been seen to be at the base of the problem.

description: Coded Aperture Snapshot Spectral Imaging (CASSI) reconstruction aims to recover the 3D spatial-spectral signal from 2D measurement. Existing methods for reconstructing Hyperspectral Image (HSI) typically involve learning mappings from a 2D compressed image to a predetermined set of discrete spectral bands. However, this approach overlooks the inherent continuity of the spectral information. In this study, we propose an innovative method called Spectral-wise Implicit Neural Representation (SINR) as a pioneering step toward addressing this limitation. SINR introduces a continuous spectral amplification process for HSI reconstruction, enabling spectral super-resolution with customizable magnification factors. To achieve this, we leverage the concept of implicit neural representation. Specifically, our approach introduces a spectral-wise attention mechanism that treats individual channels as distinct tokens, thereby capturing global spectral dependencies. Additionally, our approach incorporates two components, namely a Fourier coordinate encoder and a spectral scale factor module. The Fourier coordinate encoder enhances the SINR's ability to emphasize high-frequency components, while the spectral scale factor module guides the SINR to adapt to the variable number of spectral channels. Notably, the SINR framework enhances the flexibility of CASSI reconstruction by accommodating an unlimited number of spectral bands in the desired output. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our SINR outperforms baseline methods. By enabling continuous reconstruction within the CASSI framework, we take the initial stride toward integrating implicit neural representation into the field.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to synthesize texture to dress up a given 3D object, given a text prompt. Based on the pretrained text-to-image (T2I) diffusion model, existing methods usually employ a project-and-inpaint approach, in which a view of the given object is first generated and warped to another view for inpainting. But it tends to generate inconsistent texture due to the asynchronous diffusion of multiple views. We believe such asynchronous diffusion and insufficient information sharing among views are the root causes of the inconsistent artifact. In this paper, we propose a synchronized multi-view diffusion approach that allows the diffusion processes from different views to reach a consensus of the generated content early in the process, and hence ensures the texture consistency. To synchronize the diffusion, we share the denoised content among different views in each denoising step, specifically blending the latent content in the texture domain from views with overlap. Our method demonstrates superior performance in generating consistent, seamless, highly detailed textures, comparing to state-of-the-art methods.

description: Recent studies have confirmed cardiovascular diseases remain responsible for highest death toll amongst non-communicable diseases. Accurate left ventricular (LV) volume estimation is critical for valid diagnosis and management of various cardiovascular conditions, but poses significant challenge due to inherent uncertainties associated with segmentation algorithms in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent machine learning advancements, particularly U-Net-like convolutional networks, have facilitated automated segmentation for medical images, but struggles under certain pathologies and/or different scanner vendors and imaging protocols. This study proposes a novel methodology for post-hoc uncertainty estimation in LV volume prediction using Itô stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to model path-wise behavior for the prediction error. The model describes the area of the left ventricle along the heart's long axis. The method is agnostic to the underlying segmentation algorithm, facilitating its use with various existing and future segmentation technologies. The proposed approach provides a mechanism for quantifying uncertainty, enabling medical professionals to intervene for unreliable predictions. This is of utmost importance in critical applications such as medical diagnosis, where prediction accuracy and reliability can directly impact patient outcomes. The method is also robust to dataset changes, enabling application for medical centers with limited access to labeled data. Our findings highlight the proposed uncertainty estimation methodology's potential to enhance automated segmentation robustness and generalizability, paving the way for more reliable and accurate LV volume estimation in clinical settings as well as opening new avenues for uncertainty quantification in biomedical image segmentation, providing promising directions for future research.
title: Sinkhole Susceptibility Analysis using Machine Learning for West Central Florida
Creators: name: Muili, Olanrewaju
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: In this study, I compared the predictive capability of five machine learning models (logistic regression (LR), multilayer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and random forest (RF)), and used the best-performed model to construct a susceptibility map for west central Florida. A total of 9 layers were extracted from the collected data and employed as conditional factors for the correlation analysis. Factors with negligible contribution to the quality of predictions, according to the information gain ratio technique, were later discarded. The validation of the machine learning models, performed using different statistical indices and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, revealed that the RF model has the highest prediction, and thus was used for constructing a susceptibility map. The susceptibility map was divided into two levels (high susceptibility (H) and low susceptibility (L)), and the result was verified by Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Confusion Matrix.

description: Detecting abnormal driving behavior is critical for road traffic safety and the evaluation of drivers' behavior. With the advancement of machine learning (ML) algorithms and the accumulation of naturalistic driving data, many ML models have been adopted for abnormal driving behavior detection (also referred to in this paper as "anomalies"). Most existing ML-based detectors rely on (fully) supervised ML methods, which require substantial labeled data. However, ground truth labels are not always available in the real world, and labeling large amounts of data is tedious. Thus, there is a need to explore unsupervised or semi-supervised methods to make the anomaly detection process more feasible and efficient. To fill this research gap, this study analyzes large-scale real-world data revealing several abnormal driving behaviors (e.g., sudden acceleration, rapid lane-changing) and develops a hierarchical extreme learning machine (HELM)-based semi-supervised ML method using partly labeled data to detect the identified abnormal driving behaviors. Moreover, previous ML-based approaches predominantly utilized basic vehicle motion features (such as velocity and acceleration) to label and detect abnormal driving behaviors, while this study seeks to introduce event-level safety indicators as input features for ML models to improve detection performance. Results from extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed semi-supervised ML model with the introduced safety indicators serving as important features. The proposed semi-supervised ML method outperforms other baseline semi-supervised or unsupervised methods: for example, it delivers the best accuracy at 99.58% and the best F1-score at 0.9913. The ablation study further highlights the significance of safety indicators for advancing the detection performance of abnormal driving behaviors.

On the maximum degree of induced subgraphs of the Kneser graph

description: For integers $n \geq k \geq 1$, the {\em Kneser graph} $K(n, k)$ is the graph with vertex-set consisting of all the $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, where two $k$-element sets are adjacent in $K(n,k)$ if they are disjoint. We show that if $(n,k,s) \in \mathbb{N}^3$ with $n > 10000 k s^5$ and $\mathcal{F}$ is set of vertices of $K(n,k)$ of size larger than $\{A \subset \{1,2,\ldots,n\}:\ |A|=k,\ A \cap \{1,2,\ldots,s\} \neq \varnothing\}$, then the subgraph of $K(n,k)$ induced by $\mathcal{F}$ has maximum degree at least \[ \left(1 - O\left(\sqrt{s^3 k/n}\right)\right)\frac{s}{s+1} \cdot {n-k \choose k} \cdot \frac{|\mathcal{F}|}{\binom{n}{k}}.\] This is sharp up to the behaviour of the error term $O(\sqrt{s^3 k/n})$. In particular, if the triple of integers $(n, k, s)$ satisfies the condition above, then the minimum maximum degree does not increase `continuously' with $|\mathcal{F}|$. Instead, it has $s$ jumps, one at each time when $|\mathcal{F}|$ becomes just larger than the union of $i$ stars, for $i = 1, 2, \ldots, s$. An appealing special case of the above result is that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ with $|\mathcal{F}| = {n-1 \choose k-1}+1$, then there exists $A \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $\mathcal{F}$ is disjoint from at least $$\left(1/2-O\left(\sqrt{k/n}\right)\right){n-k-1 \choose k-1}$$ of the other sets in $\mathcal{F}$; this is asymptotically sharp if $k=o(n)$. Frankl and Kupavskii, using different methods, have recently proven closely related results under the hypothesis that $n$ is at least quadratic in $k$.

Temporal large-scale intermittency and its impact on the statistics of turbulence

description: Turbulent flows in three dimensions are characterized by the transport of energy from large to small scales through the energy cascade. Since the small scales are the result of the nonlinear dynamics across the scales, they are often thought of as universal and independent of the large scales. However, as famously remarked by Landau, sufficiently slow variations of the large scales should nonetheless be expected to impact small-scale statistics. Such variations, often termed large-scale intermittency, are pervasive in experiments and even in simulations, while differing from flow to flow. Here, we evaluate the impact of temporal large-scale fluctuations on velocity, vorticity, and acceleration statistics by introducing controlled sinusoidal variations of the energy injection rate into direct numerical simulations of turbulence. We find that slow variations can have a strong impact on flow statistics, raising the flatness of the considered quantities. We discern three contributions to the increased flatness, which we model by superpositions of statistically stationary flows. Overall, our work demonstrates how large-scale intermittency needs to be taken into account in order to ensure comparability of statistical results in turbulence.

description: Recently Koivusalo, Levesley, Ward and Zhang introduced the set of simultaneously $Φ$-badly approximable real vectors of $\mathbb{R}^m$ with respect to an approximation function $Φ$, and determined its Hausdorff dimension for the special class of power functions $Φ(t)=t^{-τ}$. We refine this by naturally extending the formula to arbitrary decreasing functions, in terms of the lower order of $1/Φ$ at infinity. We also provide an alternative, rather mild condition on $Φ$ for this conclusion. Moreover, our results apply in the general matrix setting, and we establish an according formula for packing dimension as well. Thereby we also complement a recent refinement by Bandi and de Saxcé on the smaller set of exact approximation with respect to $Φ$. Our basic tool is (a uniform variant of) the variational principle by Das, Fishman, Simmons, Urbański. We also prove some new lower estimates regarding the set of exact approximation order in the matrix setting, which are sharp in special instances. For this we combine the result by Bandi and de Saxcé with a method developed by Moshchevitin.

description: Hybridizing different degrees of freedom or physical platforms potentially offers various advantages in building scalable quantum architectures. We here introduce a fault-tolerant hybrid quantum computation by taking the advantages of both discrete variable (DV) and continuous variable (CV) systems. Particularly, we define a CV-DV hybrid qubit with bosonic cat-code and single photon, which is implementable in current photonic platforms. By the cat-code encoded in the CV part, the dominant loss errors are readily correctable without multi-qubit encoding, while the logical basis is inherently orthogonal due to the DV part. We design fault-tolerant architectures by concatenating hybrid qubits and an outer DV quantum error correction code such as topological codes, exploring their potential merits in developing scalable quantum computation. We demonstrate by numerical simulations that our scheme is at least an order of magnitude more resource-efficient over all previous proposals in photonic platforms, allowing to achieve a record-high loss threshold among existing CV and hybrid approaches. We discuss its realization not only in all-photonic platforms but also in other hybrid platforms including superconduting and trapped-ion systems, which allows us to find various efficient routes towards fault-tolerant quantum computing.
