description: Motivated by the practical demands for simplification of data towards being consistent with human thinking and problem solving as well as tolerance of uncertainty, information granules are becoming important entities in data processing at different levels of data abstraction. This paper proposes a method to construct classifiers from multi-resolution hierarchical granular representations (MRHGRC) using hyperbox fuzzy sets. The proposed approach forms a series of granular inferences hierarchically through many levels of abstraction. An attractive characteristic of our classifier is that it can maintain relatively high accuracy at a low degree of granularity based on reusing the knowledge learned from lower levels of abstraction. In addition, our approach can reduce the data size significantly as well as handling the uncertainty and incompleteness associated with data in real-world applications. The construction process of the classifier consists of two phases. The first phase is to formulate the model at the greatest level of granularity, while the later stage aims to reduce the complexity of the constructed model and deduce it from data at higher abstraction levels. Experimental outcomes conducted comprehensively on both synthetic and real datasets indicated the efficiency of our method in terms of training time and predictive performance in comparison to other types of fuzzy min-max neural networks and common machine learning algorithms.

description: This dissertation summarizes my research in the Roy group on the development, synthesis, and study of new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based ligands and nickel phsophinidene core compositions of molecular clusters, also known as superatoms. Chapter 1 introduces superatoms as atomically precise and discreet building blocks for use in the design and synthesis of novel materials. A brief history as well as selected synthetic strategies of superatoms will be introduced. The relevant materials properties of superatoms as well as their dependence on core composition and ligand structure will be discussed. Next, the use of superatoms with specialized or functionalizable ligands to synthesize new materials will be demonstrated. This chapter details the importance of the superatom ligands and core composition is the foundation that the subsequent chapters builds upon in developing these two areas. Chapter 2 introduces a functionalized NHC as a potential superatom ligand. While not necessary for all superatom ligands, ligands that enable electronic access to the superatom core are attractive. In this chapter, the conductance of potential NHC based ligands are probed through the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction (STM-BJ) method. A novel method of forming single molecule junctions in situ was used and these ligands are found to display a length dependent conductance with strong coupling to the Au electrode, confirming their potential use as ligands for superatoms. Chapter 3 describes the nature of the NHC–M bond in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on a Au(111) surface using high-resolution spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. This study was performed as a result of challenges and questions encountered during the work of Chapter 2. The results obtained from this study explore an important structure-function relationship of NHC ligands and have broader impact in materials chemistry beyond superatoms. Chapter 4 explores the synthesis of superatoms with NHC ligands beyond simple imidazolium-based NHCs. This chapter describes the two primary synthetic techniques used and the synthesis of NHC-ligated superatoms. This work is also ongoing and characterization is limited to crude single crystal X-ray diffraction structures and select NMRs. Finally, Chapter 5 details the use of uncommon organocyclophosphine reagents to synthesis novel nickel-phosphinidene molecular clusters, a potential new superatom. In this chapter the synthesis of a family of nickel-phosphinidene molecular clusters is described and studied. A potential application of these molecular clusters is explored through the thermolytic conversion to the industrially relevant Ni2P.

Beyond Umpire and Arbiter: Courts as Facilitators of Intergovernmental Dialogue in Division of Powers Cases in Canada

subject: Federal government

subject: FOS: Law

description: The courts in Canada have often been cast, by both courts and legal scholars, as 'umpires' or 'arbiters' of the federal-provincial division of powers - umpires or arbiters that have the exclusive, or at least decisive, authority to clarify and enforce, and resolve disputes about, 'who does what' in the federal system. However, the image conveyed by these metaphors underestimates the role that the federal and provincial political branches play in the federal system, by working out their own solutions, in the intergovernmental arena, both directly and indirectly, where questions and disputes arise about how jurisdiction is and should be allocated. The image conveyed by the umpire or arbiter metaphors also sits uncomfortably with the facilitative role that the Supreme Court of Canada has carved out for itself in its recent division of powers decisions, a role that casts the courts as facilitators of these instances of intergovernmental dialogue.

This doctoral dissertation challenges, and moves beyond, the umpire and arbiter metaphors. It examines the political safeguards available to the provinces in Canada to prevent, or limit, perceived federal encroachments on provincial jurisdiction, in the process highlighting the role that the political branches play in Canada in working out their own allocations of jurisdiction, outside of the courts. It describes, and critically evaluates, the facilitative role carved out by the Court in its recent division of powers decisions, identifying various reasons to be skeptical of a facilitative role that casts the courts as facilitators of intergovernmental dialogue. Finally, and with an eye to future research, it briefly outlines an alternative facilitative role that focuses on facilitating deliberation about the division of powers implications of particular initiatives, arguing that it would be premature to dismiss facilitative approaches to judicial review altogether.
An improved non-reflecting outlet boundary condition for weakly-compressible SPH

description: Implementation of an outlet boundary condition is challenging in the context of the weakly-compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method. We perform a systematic numerical study of several of the available techniques for the outlet boundary condition. We propose a new hybrid approach that combines a characteristics-based method with a simpler frozen-particle (do-nothing) technique to accurately satisfy the outlet boundary condition in the context of wind-tunnel-like simulations. In addition, we suggest some improvements to the do-nothing approach. We introduce a new suite of test problems that make it possible to compare these techniques carefully. We then simulate the flow past a backward-facing step and circular cylinder. The proposed method allows us to obtain accurate results with an order of magnitude less particles than those presented in recent research. We provide a completely open source implementation and a reproducible manuscript.

description: We study distribution functions (DF) of mesoscopic hopping conductance numerically by searching for the shortest path. We have found that the distributions obtained by choosing randomly the chemical potentials (for a fixed impurity configuration), which corresponds to a typical experimental situation, coincide with those obtained when both impurity configuration and chemical potential is chosen randomly, in agreement with the ergodicity hypothesis. The DFs obtained for one-dimensional systems were found to be quite close to the independent predictions of V.I. Mel'nikov, A.A. Abrikosov and P. Lee et al. For D=2, the DFs both for narrow system and thin film look similar (and close to the 1D case).The distribution function for the conductance of the square sample is nearly Gaussian as predicted by both Altshuler et al and Serota et al.

description: Combined measurements of velocity components and temperature in a turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection flow at a low Prandtl number of $\mathit{Pr}= 0.029$ and Rayleigh numbers between $10^6 \le \mathit{Ra} \le 6 \times 10^7$ are conducted in a series of experiments with durations of more than a thousand free-fall time units. Multiple crossing ultrasound beam lines and an array of thermocouples at mid-height allow for a detailed analysis and characterization of the complex three-dimensional dynamics of the single large-scale circulation (LSC) roll in the cylindrical convection cell of unit aspect ratio which is filled with the liquid metal alloy GaInSn. We measure the internal temporal correlations of the complex large-scale flow and distinguish between short-term oscillations associated with a sloshing motion in the mid-plane as well as varying orientation angles of the velocity close to the top/bottom plates and the slow azimuthal drift of the mean orientation of the roll as a whole that proceeds on an up to a hundred times slower time scale. The coherent LSC drives a vigorous turbulence in the whole cell that is quantified by direct Reynolds number measurements at different locations in the cell. The velocity increment statistics in the bulk of the cell displays characteristic properties of intermittent small-scale fluid turbulence. We also show that the impact of the symmetry-breaking large-scale flow persists to small-scale velocity fluctuations thus preventing the establishment of fully isotropic turbulence in the cell centre. Reynolds number amplitudes depend sensitively on beam line position in the cell such that different definitions have to be compared. The global momentum and heat transfer scalings with Rayleigh number are found to agree with those of direct numerical simulations and other laboratory experiments.

description: China’s industrial development has had profound impacts on its rural economy. While the resource flows between the urban industrial and rural agricultural sectors are well studied, little attention has been paid to the interactions of industrial and agricultural development within rural areas. Using a nationally representative panel data, we find a strongly significant association between rural industrial development and agricultural productivity. Further, we ascertain that, while rural enterprises do withdraw labor out of agriculture and dampen productivity, the productivity loss is negligible in comparison with land productivity improvement brought by added infrastructure capital financed through tax revenue from rural enterprises.
Variational B-rep Model Analysis for Direct Modeling using Geometric Perturbation

description: The very recent CAD paradigm of direct modeling gives rise to the need of processing 3D geometric constraint systems defined on boundary representation (B-rep) models. The major issue of processing such variational B-rep models (in the STEP format) is that free motions of a well-constrained model involve more than just rigid-body motions. The fundamental difficulty lies in having a systematic description of what pattern these free motions follow. This paper proposes a geometric perturbation method to study these free motions. This method is a generalization of the witness method, allowing it to directly deal with variational B-rep models represented with the standard STEP scheme. This generalization is essentially achieved by using a direct, geometric representation of the free motions, and then expressing the free motions in terms of composites of several basis motions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a series of comparisons and case studies are presented.

description: Examples of volume data include medical scanned data such as CT and MRI data, seismic survey data, and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) data, etc. To better understand volumetric datasets, people use computer hardware and software to manipulate the data and generate 2D projections for viewing; this process is called volume visualization. Much research on volume visualization has been focused on volume rendering (how to render larger sets of data faster with a higher level of realism) or transfer function generation (how to highlight the regions of interest). To help improve the efficiency and efficacy of volume visualization, this research proposed using two different approaches. The first approach is to integrate virtual reality environments (VEs) and human computer interaction (HCI) technologies in volume visualization applications. The second approach is to use various virtual tools that allow users to directly explore and manipulate the volume data in 3D space. A volume visualization system named VRVolVis (Virtual Reality Volumes Visualization System) has been designed and developed to implement these approaches. Many innovations have been integrated into this system, including a fast volume rendering engine, an intuitive HCI paradigm tailored for volume visualization in VEs, and 8 innovative geometric tools that can assist users to fully reveal the internal structure of volumetric datasets. The tools are the clipping plane widget, the data slab widget, the volume probing tool, the volume clipping tool, the regional enhancement tool, the virtual light, the volume eraser and restorer, and the shooting star tool. Two sets of experiments involving 33 participants were conducted, and the experimental results supported the assertion that volume visualization tasks would be performed significant better in VR viewing conditions than Stereo and Conventional conditions, and that using these geometric tools can significantly improve the efficiency and efficacy of the volume visualization process.

description: In this paper we explore the idea of looking at the Dirac quantisation conditions as $\hbar$-dependent constraints on the tangent bundle to phase-space. Starting from the path-integral version of classical mechanics and using the natural Poisson brackets structure present in the cotangent bundle to the tangent bundle of phase- space, we handle the above constraints using the standard theory of Dirac for constrained systems. The hope is to obtain, as total Hamiltonian, the Moyal operator of time-evolution and as Dirac brackets the Moyal ones. Unfortunately the program fails indicating that something is missing. We put forward at the end some ideas for future work which may overcome this failure.

description: Over the past 20 years, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants in the genome linked to genetic diseases. However, these associations often reveal little about underlying genetic etiology, which for many phenotypes is thought to be highly heterogeneous. This work investigates statistical methods to move beyond conventional GWAS methods to both improve estimation of associations and to extract additional etiological insights from known associations, with a focus on schizophrenia. This thesis addresses the above aim through three primary topics: First, we describe DNA.Land, a web platform to crowdsource the collection of genomic data with user consent and active participation, thereby rapidly increasing sample sizes and power required for GWAS. Second, we describe methods to characterize the latent genomic contributors to heterogeneity in GWAS phenotypes. We develop a Z-score test to detect heterogeneity using correlations between variants among affected individuals, and we develop a contrastive tensor decomposition to explicitly characterize subtype-specific SNP effects independently of confounding heterogeneity such as ancestry. Using these methods we provide evidence of significant heterogeneity in GWAS cohorts for schizophrenia. Lastly, a major avenue of investigation beyond GWAS is identifying the genes through which associated SNPs mechanistically affect the presentation of phenotypes. We develop a method to improve estimation of expression quantitative trait loci by joint inference over gene expression reference data and GWAS data, incorporating insights from the liability threshold model. These methods will advance ongoing efforts to explain the complex etiology of genetic diseases as well as improve the accuracy of disease prediction models based on these insights.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Efficient warehousing is important in moving food and other grocery store items from producers and processors to the retail store and consumers at the lowest possible cost. It involves unloading and receiving rail car and motortruck lots of merchandise, moving them into the warehouse storage locations, the assembly of items in quantities ordered by retailers, and the loading of delivery trucks. Approximately, 4,000 items are stocked in the typical grocery warehouse, and it is necessary that each of these items be available for the assembly of retailer orders. The primary objectives of this study were: (1) To determine the most advantageous place to locate the receiving and shipping docks, repack room, offices, and support columns; (2) to evaluate the basic systems of order selection line length, aisle width, fixed and floating slots, and to describe the procedure for laying out and placing merchandise in the warehouse; (3) to describe and evaluate the materials-handling equipment used in modern grocery warehouses; and (4) to present warehouse layouts for a small, medium, and large size grocery distributor to illustrate research findings.

This explains and formalizes many of the rather ad hoc constructions for edge modes appearing in the theoretical physics literature. Our construction also applies to linear Chern-Simons theory, in which case we obtain the extended phase space introduced by Geiller [Nucl. Phys. B 924, 312 (2017)].

description: Aiming to enhance the luminescence yield of carbon nanotubes, we introduce a new class of hybrid nanoplasmonic colloidal systems (π-hybrids). Nanotubes dispersed in gold nanorod colloidal suspensions yield hybrid structures exhibiting enhanced luminescence up to a factor of 20. The novelty of the proposed enhancement mechanism relies on including metal proximity effects in addition to its localized surface plasmons. This simple, robust and flexible technique enhances the luminescence of nanotubes with chiralities whose enhancement has never reported before, for example the (8,4) tube.

description: his capstone project proposes a novel approach to crafting narratives from existing place-based data. By combining elements of creative storytelling with traditional quantitative data, the project provides an avenue for poetism in the urban research process. To this end, the project is a web-based visualization tool for exploring the city at the human scale that stems from the idea that empathy can arise from “walking a mile in a person’s shoes.” This project introduces empathy into urban research through a replicable methodology for generating location-based synthetic narratives from existing large-scale data, such as census data. It fills a void in understanding the people who inhabit a location by describing them through stories from their own perspectives. Its central hypothesis is that you can better understand a place by engaging with narratives of its inhabitants. With this platform, I am proposing a humanistic counterpoint to the current dominant paradigm of top-down modernist urban analysis and research that pervades through urban planning and design.

description: We show that, given a certain transversality condition, the set of relative equilibria $\mcl E$ near $p_e\in\mcl E$ of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry is locally Whitney-stratified by the conjugacy classes of the isotropy subgroups (under the product of the coadjoint and adjoint actions) of the momentum-generator pairs $(μ,ξ)$ of the relative equilibria. The dimension of the stratum of the conjugacy class (K) is $\dim G+2\dim Z(K)-\dim K$, where Z(K) is the center of K, and transverse to this stratum $\mcl E$ is locally diffeomorphic to the commuting pairs of the Lie algebra of $K/Z(K)$. The stratum $\mcl E_{(K)}$ is a symplectic submanifold of P near $p_e\in\mcl E$ if and only if $p_e$ is nondegenerate and K is a maximal torus of G. We also show that there is a dense subset of G-invariant Hamiltonians on P for which all the relative equilibria are transversal. Thus, generically, the types of singularities that can be found in the set of relative equilibria of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry are those types found amongst the singularities at zero of the sets of commuting pairs of certain Lie subalgebras of the symmetry group.

description: The report presented here draws the attention to one of the least-studied regions of Pakistan and to three districts in Sindh Province. The report covers eight villages in Sindh's Badin, Dadu, and Thatta districts. The selection of villages is strongly linked to the initiators and sponsors of this independent research project. The German Red Cross (GRC) and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) suggested to the Centre for Development Studies at Freie Universität Berlin to cooperate again - after a successful joint evaluation of development packages in Kashmir in 2009 (see volume 36 of this series) - in an assessment in Sindh Province. This time, the terms for the assessment followed a different rationale in involving the independent academic supporters. With relief operations coming to an end in Sindh, a strategy and a vision needed to be designed for enhanced development cooperation. The dire needs of the flood affectees in the villages should be the guiding principle for the implementation of development packages. Their experiences and voices are the most important source of knowledge that has to be combined with feasible packages and practical moves. A major challenge is to define packages that are efficient in uplifting the living conditions, that reach the most vulnerable groups and that will have some lasting effects.

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved impressive performance in many complex environments due to the integration with Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). At the same time, Genetic Algorithms (GAs), often seen as a competing approach to RL, had limited success in scaling up to the DNNs required to solve challenging tasks. Contrary to this dichotomic view, in the physical world, evolution and learning are complementary processes that continuously interact. The recently proposed Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning (ERL) framework has demonstrated mutual benefits to performance when combining the two methods. However, ERL has not fully addressed the scalability problem of GAs. In this paper, we show that this problem is rooted in an unfortunate combination of a simple genetic encoding for DNNs and the use of traditional biologically-inspired variation operators. When applied to these encodings, the standard operators are destructive and cause catastrophic forgetting of the traits the networks acquired. We propose a novel algorithm called Proximal Distilled Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning (PDERL) that is characterised by a hierarchical integration between evolution and learning. The main innovation of PDERL is the use of learning-based variation operators that compensate for the simplicity of the genetic representation. Unlike traditional operators, our proposals meet the functional requirements of variation operators when applied on directly-encoded DNNs. We evaluate PDERL in five robot locomotion settings from the OpenAI gym. Our method outperforms ERL, as well as two state-of-the-art RL algorithms, PPO and TD3, in all tested environments.

description: By 2020, the number of independent workers and freelancers are expected to comprise 40% of the working population. This subset of the economy requires different work configurations, and as a result, co-working spaces have emerged as a new office typology. While research has been conducted on the internal dynamics and impact on the worker in the new space, there has been little study into the impact of co-working spaces on the immediate community. Reports released by municipalities recognize the potential impact that co-working spaces have on economic development - however they are policy recommendations.  The purpose of this paper is to expand on the relationship between co-working spaces and its surrounding community's economic development by collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data. Co-working space users will be surveyed on their perception of the surrounding neighborhood and gauge their participation in the community events while various community members and stakeholders will be interviewed about their opinions of the co-working space and any perceived changes associated with the new neighborhood fixture. Supplementing this qualitative data, demographic data and building/construction statistics will be analyzed pre and post opening of the co-working space. As co-working spaces evolve from being an office alternative outlier to viable office option, developing an understanding of co-working spaces’ impact on the surrounding community is essential – integrating co-working spaces into the urban fabric. Co-working space have the potential to play a significant role in local economic development but there must also be community and local government communication and commitment to provide neighborhood services and amenities in order to tap into the potential of co-working spaces.

description: From the beginning of 2011 to the middle of 2012 the U.S. stock market did not generally perform well. This subpar performance has been largely attributed by the business media to the Eurozone crisis. The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent to which the values of U.S. food companies are related to the Eurozone crisis. The stock prices of nine well-known U.S. food companies and the S&P index are regressed, using a system of equations approach, against a set of variables accounting for profitability and the economic wellbeing of the Eurozone and the United States. Based on the findings of this study it would seem that the U.S. stock market, including food companies, is primarily affected by the wellbeing of the U.S. economy as opposed to that of the EU.
Breaking Mirror Twin Hypercharge

description: The Twin Higgs scenario stabilizes the Higgs mass through an approximate global symmetry and has remained natural in the face of increasingly stringent LHC bounds on colored top partners. Two basic structural questions in this framework concern the nature of the twin hypercharge gauge symmetry and the origin of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry breaking needed to achieve the correct vacuum alignment. Both questions are addressed in a simple extension of the Mirror Twin Higgs model with an exact $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and a scalar field that spontaneously breaks both twin hypercharge and $\mathbb{Z}_2$. Due to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and an approximate $U(2)$ symmetry in the potential, a new hypercharge scalar appears in the visible sector and, like the Higgs, is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson with a weak-scale mass. Couplings between the hypercharge scalar and matter provide a new dynamical source of twin sector fermion masses. Depending on the nature and size of these couplings, a variety of experimental signatures may arise, including quark and lepton flavor violation, neutrino masses and mixings as well as direct collider probes of the hypercharged scalar. These signals are correlated with the twin matter spectrum, which can differ dramatically from the visible one, including dynamical realizations of fraternal-like scenarios.

Beyond the Ephemeral: Preserving the Existing Built Environment with Temporary Urban Interventions
Creators: Sotelo, Fernanda D.
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: City planning

description: Urban planners, economic developers, community-based organizations, and government agencies are increasingly using small-scale, temporary urban interventions as tools to revitalize historic downtowns and neighborhoods. These interventions are being integrated into larger, incremental planning initiatives that seek to stimulate redevelopment and inform long-term planning goals. They depend on public engagement to envision and plan a quick and affordable transformation of blighted areas of historic neighborhoods with aesthetic improvements and temporary uses. Through creative mediums they allow communities to experiment with ideas that highlight the economic and viable potential of the existing built environment Temporary urban interventions are powerful forms of direct community action that generate preservation activity at grassroots levels. By emphasizing local history and existing built assets to inform the planning and development of historic neighborhoods, these interventions share similar goals and values with preservation. Given that temporary urban interventions are being used by various professions with whom we, as preservationists, are aligned, they should be under the purview of historic preservation. This thesis examines how historic preservation practices can enhance temporary urban interventions as a redevelopment tool by identifying common values and goals, stakeholders, and analyzing case studies. Following major findings and recommendations, this thesis proposes a collaboration between temporary urban interventions and historic preservation to ensure that
such initiatives surpass the temporal realm and become a formal, long-term solution to the revitalization and preservation of the existing built environment.
