description: 行星的磁场会影响行星的环境演化，一颗具有垂直磁场的行星，其磁场可以使这颗行星变成适宜生命的诞生的行星。然而磁场对行星具体产生作用的方式是什么？又是如何影响去行星环境的演变？科学家在对火星的研究中，认为正是因为火星的磁场过于微弱，所以导致了火星不能有效的阻挡来自太阳粒子的辐射，使火星的环境遭到破坏而灭灭性的破坏。而液态水则是由氢和氧构成的，而氢原子是由一个质子和一个电子组成，是一种相对较轻的粒子。质子和电子都是一种带电粒子，具有强磁场的行星，易于更容易俘获该带电粒子。当这类粒子被俘获之后，就会和氧原子作用形成液态水，慢慢的就会影响生命的出现。由于太阳形成的质量抵抗的粒子，相对而言生成的概率也相对相对，同样也不容易被释放到距离太阳较远的地方，而距离太阳较近的地方又很容易被太阳重新吞噬。所以距离太阳较近的行星，通常体积和质量都比较小，所以这类行星一般都很难形成一个介导的磁场。由于没有原因的磁场，所以就非常难以阻止被捕像质子这样的带电粒子。也就是这个原因，因此这些星球难以形成一个有水的环境。当然还有另一个原因，就是距离太阳较近，温度也相应的会很高，过高的温度也不利于液态水的保存。高温高压液态水蒸发成水蒸气，而超强的太阳紫外线又两个氢原子最终可能生成一个空气分子，由于空气是宇宙中密度最小的气体，所以就会产生相对相对更容易从行星中逃逸出去。

description: A rare eclipse of the mysterious object Epsilon Aurigae will occur in 2009-2011. We report an updated single-lined spectroscopic solution for the orbit of the primary star based on 20 years of monitoring at the CfA, combined with historical velocity observations dating back to 1897. There are 518 new CfA observations obtained between 1989 and 2009. Two solutions are presented. One uses the velocities outside the eclipse phases together with mid-times of previous eclipses, from photometry dating back to 1842, which provide the strongest constraint on the ephemeris. This yields a period of 9896.0 +/- 1.6 days (27.0938 +/- 0.0044 years) with a velocity semi-amplitude of 13.84 +/- 0.23 km/s and an eccentricity of 0.227 +/- 0.011. The middle of the current on-going eclipse predicted by this combined fit is JD 2,455,413.8 +/- 4.8, corresponding to 2010 August 5. If we use only the radial velocities, we find that the predicted middle of the current eclipse is nine months earlier. This would imply that the gravitating companion is not the same as the eclipsing object. Alternatively, the purely spectroscopic solution may be biased by perturbations in the velocities due to the short-period oscillations of the supergiant.

title: Evaluating the Role of Nonmonetary Factors in Teachers' Employment Decisions
Creators: name: Gunther, Jeffrey M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Teacher recruitment and retention is a problem of perpetual concern among education policymakers. High rates of teacher attrition, particularly within the first few years of a teacher’s service have been of particular concern. It is believed that persistent teacher shortages contribute both to underperformance of students generally, as well as to achievement gaps between students of different races and socioeconomic backgrounds. The importance of this issue has led to a great deal of research in the field, which has found that there are a large number of factors that influence the desirability of schools to teachers. What is still unclear from this research is how much these different factors matter relative to one another and to salary.
This study aimed to address this gap in the literature by introducing a new survey methodology to the field that allows for quantification of the extent to which various working conditions factors matter to teachers. A survey was distributed to all secondary teachers in the state of Utah where respondents were asked to choose between hypothetical school choices that varied on salary and certain nonmonetary factors. Periodically, respondents were asked to answer open-ended questions explaining their responses. The results of this survey allow for an estimate for each individual of how much salary and each of the working conditions influenced the decisions that they made. These results were analyzed for trends with respect to teacher demographics and contextual factors and were compared to the responses teachers gave to the open-ended questions.
This study resulted in a number of practical recommendations for school administrators, policymakers, and fellow researchers. For practitioners, there are results from this study that generate clear recommendations for using limited resources to make schools more desirable to teachers. The results of this study also provide estimates for how much additional salary is needed to entice teachers to work in schools that traditionally struggle to recruit and retain high quality teachers. For researchers, this study provides a model that can be replicated in additional contexts to answer these important practical questions. The study also opens up avenues of future research including new methodological questions worthy of further investigation. By introducing a new survey methodology to this well-developed field of research, this study aims to recommend a new tool for use by researchers in addressing the persistent challenge of teacher recruitment and retention.

description: Molecular clouds are expected to emit non-thermal radiation due to cosmic ray interactions in the dense magnetized gas. Such emission is amplified if a cloud is located close to an accelerator of cosmic rays and if energetic particles can leave the accelerator site and diffusively reach the cloud. We consider here the situation in which a molecular cloud is located in the proximity of a supernova remnant which is efficiently accelerating cosmic rays and gradually releasing them in the interstellar medium. We calculate the multiwavelength spectrum from radio to gamma rays which is emerging from the cloud as the result of cosmic ray interactions. The total energy output is dominated by the gamma ray emission, which can exceed the emission in other bands by an order of magnitude or more. This suggests that some of the unidentified TeV sources detected so far, with no obvious or very weak counterparts in other wavelengths, might be in fact associated with clouds illuminated by cosmic rays coming from a nearby source. Moreover, under certain conditions, the gamma ray spectrum exhibit a concave shape, being steep at low energies and hard at high energies. This fact might have important implications for the studies of the spectral compatibility of GeV and TeV gamma ray sources.

title: Interactions Between Biochar and Compost in Organic Winter Wheat Production and Soil Quality Under Dryland Conditions

Year: 2018

description: Organic wheat grown under dryland conditions encounters challenges such as limited nutrients and water. Maintaining organic wheat production requires solutions to these problems in order to retain economic sustainability for the farmers.
Research on biochar and compost have been conducted globally. Despite well known benefits of compost on soil and crop production, few organic farmers apply compost to their fields. Research on biochar is still new. Biochar is charcoal created from pyrolyzing agricultural material under conditions of low oxygen and high heat. Many studies claim that biochar is a valuable soil amendment for improving organic production and reducing environmental pollution (such as greenhouse gas emission, water pollution, or nutrient leaching). It may hold more moisture in the soil and retain nutrients. We conducted a study on the interactions between biochar and compost in organic winter wheat production and soil quality under dryland conditions. We analyzed the response to biochar and compost, and investigated individual and combined effects on wheat yield, wheat quality, and soil quality.
This study revealed that compost had significant impacts on increasing wheat yield and had slight impacts on soil quality while biochar had none to slight impacts on soil and wheat production. We validated the usefulness of compost for organic wheat production in dryland condition, but found no real benefit for biochar in this first year.

Making Sense of Muslim Societies: Belief and Praxis in Bantaeng
Creators: name: Fachruddin, Farid
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: In the last four decades, the study of Islam and Muslim societies has extended from only the so-called orientalist tradition and the current Islamicist trend into a trend in social research where these objects of study are observed in the spectacles of social sciences and humanities. Included in this trend, the anthropological studies of Islam and Muslim societies have experienced significant development since Evans-Pritchard (1949] conducted his observation on a Muslim society in North Africa. This development encompasses studies on Muslim societies in rural and urban areas, following the trend in contemporary anthropology which also makes urban societies as their object of research and fieldwork. In this trend, Muslim anthropologists who are associated to Virginiabased HIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought] have invented ‘Islamic Anthropology’ which imagines an ideal theological concept of Islamic society. This study challenges the basic assumptions of “Islamic Anthropology" through exploring the case of Muslim everyday practices and local traditions in Bantaeng, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Authenticity and orthodoxy will become the key issues: are questions of authenticity and orthodoxy relevant when looking at Islam and Muslim practices in non-Saudi areas beyond the heartland of Islam? Or, as I will argue, should there be a new understanding of authenticity and orthodoxy? This study addresses the question of how Muslims in Bantaeng claim their identity as authentic Muslims, while at the same time as authentic Bugis or Makassar; how are the values of Bugis-ness and Makassar-ness took part in the Islamisation of South Sulawesi; what is the nature of indigenisation or Islamisation in rural South Sulawesi; what is the nature of religious (Islamic] diversity in in this area. Throughout this study, through the cases of local imam, wedding father, Muslim seer, tomb visitation and local rituals, I have led my arguments to strengthen a position, which lets people under study to speak for themselves. In this regard, authenticity is defined by people who practice particular religion. I argue that Islamic anthropology cannot work well with conventional anthropology since they have set in their mind a model of an ideal Islamic society in advance, and eventually justify which one is Islamic or u-Islamic. In this vein, I suggest the use of the term 'anthropology of Muslim society’ to highlight that anthropology observes Muslims or Muslim societies, not Islam as a set of norms.

description: Abstract

Background: Interest is increasing in using the OSCE as means of gauging clinical competency. Yet there are issues with the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE's) validity. The aim: the aim of this study was to assess the construct of validity of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for evaluating the nursing skills. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to March 2023 across four governmental nursing faculties in Khartoum. The study involved OSCE examiners and final medical-surgical nursing OSCE stations. Data were collected using two tools: an observational checklist, and a clinical standardized checklist. Face and content validity were ensured through expert reviews, and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results: The study found that the OSCE stations demonstrated high face and content validity as assessed by experts. The internal consistency of the study tools was satisfactory, with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.81 for the observational checklist and 0.90 for the clinical standardized checklist, the analysis showed that a substantial majority (93.8%) of the OSCE checklists were poorly constructed in terms of performance level criteria. Conclusion: The study confirms the validity of OSCE as an assessment tool in nursing education at governmental faculties in Khartoum. Overall, the evidence supports the validity and reliability of OSCE in nursing education at Khartoum governmental faculties, making it a strong tool for clinical competence assessment.
The Relevance of Language and Linguistic Features to Cross-Border M&As
Creators: name: Zhang, Yangfan Zoe
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the impact of linguistic differences between targets and acquirers on the likelihood of completing cross-border M&As and acquirers' long-term post-acquisition performance. To examine potential language impacts, it tests language difference and distance based on the locations in the language tree and differences in three linguistic features in the primary languages of targets and acquirers; the strength of future time reference (FTR), the presence of a sex-based gender marking system (SB), and the use of politeness distinctions in pronoun use (PD). Language and linguistic features have been claimed to influence and perpetuate firms' dominant logics of doing business. The three linguistic features have been used in prior studies to predict individual or organisational economic behaviours, suggesting they have potential implications for cross-border M&A decisions. The differences in languages and linguistic features between targets and acquirers are theorised to give rise to difficulties in aligning corporate dominant logics, cooperation, and communication between the two parties during pre-acquisition negotiation through to post-acquisition integration and cooperation. The results indicate that differences in language between targets and acquirers are negatively associated with both the likelihood of completing announced cross-border M&As and post-acquisition long-term performance. The influence of differences in linguistic features on both completion and performance of cross-border M&As varies according to acquirers' linguistic attributes. The findings are robust to the use of different measurements and estimation methods, and after controlling for main and moderating effects of differences in acquirers' and targets' attributed national cultural traits, showing that the effects of language and linguistic differences are additional to the cultural effects that have been more widely investigated in prior studies. Further analyses show that the presence of linguistic differences also influence the time taken to complete cross-border M&A deals and post-acquisition performance using differing horizons. This thesis adds to research on cross-border acquisitions by empirically approaching post-acquisition alignment of ways of doing business between targets and acquirers through objectively observed linguistic features. It also provides further evidence to validate the economic implications of the three linguistic features, by investigating the interactions of their embedded dominant logic between organisations.

description: We propose to test the dark matter (DM) interpretation of the positron excess observed by the PAMELA cosmic-ray (CR) detector through the identification of a Galactic diffuse gamma-ray component associated to DM-induced prompt and radiative emission. The goal is to present an analysis based on minimal sets of assumptions and extrapolations with respect to locally testable or measurable quantities. We discuss the differences between the spatial and spectral features for the DM-induced components (with an extended, possibly spherical, source function) and those for the standard CR contribution (with sources confined within the stellar disc), and propose to focus on intermediate and large latitudes. We address the dependence of the signal to background ratio on the model adopted to describe the propagation of charged CRs in the Galaxy, and find that, in general, the DM-induced signal can be detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope at energies above 100 GeV. An observational result in agreement with the prediction from standard CR components only, would imply very strong constraints on the DM interpretation of the PAMELA excess. On the other hand, if an excess in the diffuse emission above 100 GeV is identified, the angular profile for such emission would allow for a clean disentanglement between the DM interpretation and astrophysical explanations proposed for the PAMELA excess. We also compare to the radiative diffuse emission at lower frequencies, sketching in particular the detection prospects at infrared frequencies with the Planck satellite.

description: Tourism market research appears to have increased its academic presence with the introduction of the new university degree in Tourism in Spain. The term tourism market research is widely accepted. However, there is some controversy regarding the use of the terms of market research and commercial research. In some cases, conceptual differences are posed between the two terminologies, while in other cases, a greater equity is advocated. We try to understand the basis of these differences, concluding that the two terminologies have their own limitations, so it would be advisable to use a more appropriate and enlightening term.

title: TANF Funding Allocation Differences in Red vs. Blue States: Emphasis on Out-of-Wedlock Births and Divorces
Creators: name: Mindrum, Camille
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: The 1996 welfare reforms were part of a bipartisan consensus led by Democratic President Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress about the downfalls of the existing United States welfare system. Under these reforms, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), which was an entitlement program that had been in effect since 1935. Similar to AFDC, TANF intended to serve as a safety net that provides cash assistance to needy families, but it also aimed to reduce government dependence by attempting to instill values in welfare recipients through stricter work requirements and eligibility criteria. The goals of TANF included promoting job preparation, reducing the incidence of births to unmarried mothers, and increasing the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
Many of TANF’s goals were driven by the theory that family structure is important for economic and social stability, but states have a lot of freedom in how they choose to distribute TANF funding and implement the program. This research examined TANF funding allocation and social outcome differences between predominantly Republican (red) and predominantly Democratic (blue) states in order analyze TANF’s ability to reduce out-of-wedlock birth rates and divorce rates. There was limited, but interesting, evidence that there were differences in how red and blue states were funding TANF programs. On average, red states allocated greater proportions of their funding to categories that were inconsistent with the purposes of TANF than blue states. Most states provided very little funding to goals associated with family structure. So, while out-of-wedlock birth rates and divorce rates were different in 1996 (pre-TANF) and 2016 (post-TANF), these changes are unlikely associated with the program. Similarly, blue states had significantly less divorces than red states, but it is unlikely that TANF is responsible for this difference.

description: The dependability of power electronics systems, such as three-phase inverters, is critical in a variety of applications. Different types of failures that occur in an inverter circuit might affect system operation and raise the entire cost of the manufacturing process. As a result, detecting and identifying inverter problems for such devices is critical in industry. This study presents the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) for fault classification and identification in three-phase type, voltage source inverter (VSI) switches. Time-frequency representation (TFR) represents the signal analysis of STFT, which includes total harmonic distortion, instantaneous RMS current, RMS fundamental current, total non harmonic distortion, total waveform distortion and average current. The features of the faults are used with a rule-based classifier based on the signal parameters to categorise and detect the switch faults. The suggested method's performance is evaluated using 60 signals containing short and open circuit faults with varying characteristics for each switch in VSI. The classification results demonstrate the proposed technique is good to be implemented for VSI switches faults classification, with an accuracy classification rate of 98.3%.

title: An Evaluation of Bull Trout Movement Dynamics in the Walla Walla River
Creators: name: Newlon, Courtney
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Bull trout are a fish species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.Historically, they ranged from Northern California at the southernmost extent, into Canada at the northern most extent, and east into Nevada and Montana. Bull trout are highly migratory and require large, unfragmented habitats to persist and are thus highly susceptible to human induced land-use practices. The goal of my thesis was to obtain a better understanding of bull trout movement patterns in the Walla Walla River, Washington using complimentary techniques; Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT)technology and otolith microchemistry. PIT tags can be injected into a fish body cavity, similar to how pets are “chipped”, and as the fish swim through antennas placed in the river, their location and movements are be documented.Otolith microchemistry is a technique that is similar to analysis of tree rings. The otolith, a hard bony structure of a fish’s ear, develops over a lifetime and as the rings of the otolith are created the chemical signature in the water in which they live is recorded and can be compared to chemical makeup of water samples collected through the river system. Using these two techniques, I found that the age or size of a fish and the season are important factors to explain both a fish’s movements and where in the river a fish might be located at a given time. Knowing at what size, age and season a fish is attempting to migrate allows managers to provide the best possible river conditions (e.g., temperatures, flow) to allow for unimpeded migrations to occur and to foster conservation and recovery of bull trout populations.
Magma injections and destabilization of basaltic volcanoes: a numerical study. Application to La Reunion (Indian ocean, France) and Stromboli (Tyrrhenian sea, Italy)

description: Most basaltic volcanoes are affected by recurrent lateral instabilities during their evolution. Numerous factors have been shown to be involved in the process of flank destabilization occurring over long periods of time or by instantaneous failures. However, the role of these factors on the mechanical behaviour and stability of volcanic edifices is poorly-constrained as lateral failure usually results from the combined effects of several parameters. Our study focuses on the morphological and structural comparison of two end-member basaltic systems, La Reunion (Indian ocean, France) and Stromboli (southern Tyrrhenian sea, Italy). We showed that despite major differences on their volumes and geodynamic settings, both systems present some similarities as they are characterized by an intense intrusive activity along well-developed rift zones and recurrent phenomena of flank collapse during their evolution. Among the factors of instability, the examples of la Reunion and Stromboli evidence the major contribution of intrusive complexes to volcano growth and destruction as attested by field observations and the monitoring of these active volcanoes. Classical models consider the relationship between vertical intrusions of magma and flank movements along a preexisting sliding surface. A set of published and new field data from Piton des Neiges volcano (La Reunion) allowed us to recognize the role of subhorizontal intrusions in the process of flank instability and to characterize the geometry of both subvertical and subhorizontal intrusions within basaltic edifices. This study compares the results of numerical modelling of the displacements associated with high-angle and low-angle intrusions within basaltic volcanoes. We use a Mixed Boundary Element Method to investigate the mechanical response of an edifice to the injection of magmatic intrusions in different stress fields. Our results indicate that the anisotropy of the stress field favours the slip along the intrusions due to cointrusive shear stress, generating flank-scale displacements of the edifice, especially in the case of subhorizontal intrusions, capable of triggering large-scale flank collapses on basaltic volcanoes. Applications of our theoretical results to real cases of flank displacements on basaltic volcanoes (such as the 2007 eruptive crisis at La Reunion and Stromboli) revealed that the previous model of subvertical intrusions-related collapse is a likely mechanism affecting small-scale steeply-sloping basaltic volcanoes like Stromboli. Furthermore, our field study combined to modelling results confirms the importance of shallow-dipping intrusions in the morpho-structural evolution of large gently-sloping basaltic volcanoes like Piton de la Fournaise, Etna and Kilauea, with particular regards to flank instability, which can cause catastrophic tsunamis.

description: Ethnic tourism is considered a unique type of tourism since it enables the tourist to experience and learn about other cultures through their traditions, customs lifestyle and practice. Authenticity is an important concept in ethnic tourism studies. This article examines tourists' participation in ethnic attractions and products, and the levels of satisfaction with their experiences based upon empirical research conducted in number of Nubian villages which still exist north of the Dam. Field research was done through visiting, interviewing some of the local people and observing their lifestyle. A survey of 600 visitors to Nubian villages was also conducted, only 560 questionnaires were valid to analysis out of which 89.2% was international and 10.8% was domestic. The study finds out that authenticity is a major concern among international tourists. Although it was the first experience for large number of tourists but they have different reasons for getting through this experience.

TOURISM VERSUS THE VISITOR ECONOMY AND THE SHIFTING LANDSCAPE OF DESTINATION MANAGEMENT
Creators: name: Hristov, Deyan
Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2015

description: This paper attempts to explore the emerging concept of the visitor economy, by linking it to recent changes in tourism governance on a destination level, influenced by complex global and regional politico-economic factors. A regional outlook reflecting on England as an exemplar of a shifting destination management is introduced and provides the basis of investigation. Particular attention is given to the new model of destination management in England and its prospective role in realising the benefits of the emerging visitor economy. Secondary data sources in the form of destination management strategies and industry reports have been explored and informed the discussion of the two evolving concepts – destination management on a local level and the multifaceted visitor economy. Outcomes of the analysis suggest that further enquiry into the blurred visitor economy concept is imperative, particularly in times of organisational restructuring, changing destination management priorities and increased competition.

title: Geospatial Modeling of Land Cover Change in the Chocó-Darien Global Ecoregion of South America: Assessing Proximate Causes and Underlying Drivers of Deforestation and Reforestation
Creators: name: Fagua, José Camilo

description: The Chocó-Darien Global Ecoregion (CGE) in South America is one of 25 global biodiversity hotspots prioritized for conservation. I performed the first land-use and land-cover (LULC) change analysis for the entire CGE in this dissertation. There were three main objectives: 1) Select the best available imagery to build annual land-use and land-cover maps from 2001 to 2015 across the CGE. 2) Model LULC across the CGE to assess forest change trends from 2002 to 2015 and identify the effect of proximate causes of deforestation and reforestation. 3) Estimate the effects of underlying drivers on deforestation and reforestation across the CGE between 2002 and 2015. I developed annual LULC maps across the CGE from 2002 to 2015 using MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro radiometer) vegetation index products and random forest classification. The LULC maps resulted in high accuracies (Kappa = 0.87; SD = 0.008). We detected a gradual replacement of forested areas with agriculture and secondary vegetation (agriculture reverting to early regeneration of natural vegetation) across the CGE. Forest loss was higher between 2010-2015 when compared to 2002-2010. LULC change trends, proximate causes, and reforestation transitions varied according to administrative authority (countries: PanamanianCGE, Colombian CGE, and Ecuadorian CGE). Population growth and road density were underlying drivers of deforestation. Armed conflicts, Gross Domestic Product, and average annual rain were proximate causes and underlying drivers related reforestation.
Coherent inverse Compton scattering by bunches in fast radio bursts
Creators: name: Zhang, Bing

description: The extremely high brightness temperature of fast radio bursts (FRBs) requires that their emission mechanism must be "coherent", either through concerted particle emission by bunches or through an exponential growth of a plasma wave mode or radiation amplitude via certain maser mechanisms. The bunching mechanism has been mostly discussed within the context of curvature radiation or cyclotron/synchrotron radiation. Here we propose a family of model invoking coherent inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of bunched particles that may operate within or just outside of the magnetosphere of a flaring magnetar. Crustal oscillations during the flaring event may excite low-frequency electromagnetic waves near the magnetar surface. The X-mode of these waves could penetrate through the magnetosphere. Bunched relativistic particles in the charge starved region inside the magnetosphere or in the current sheet outside of the magnetosphere would upscatter these low-frequency waves to produce GHz emission to power FRBs. The ICS mechanism has a much larger emission power for individual electrons than curvature radiation. This greatly reduces the required degree of coherence in bunches, alleviating several criticisms to the bunching mechanism raised in the context of curvature radiation. The emission is $\sim 100\%$ linearly polarized (with the possibility of developing circular polarization) with a constant or varying polarization angle across each burst. The mechanism can account for a narrow-band spectrum and a frequency downdrifting pattern, as commonly observed in repeating FRBs.

description: Second home tourism is one of the patterns of tourism development especially in rural and mountainous areas that is obtained through ownership of second homes (bungalows or holiday homes). World's economic, social and cultural developments after the Second World War, with improving communication and transportation, increased leisure time. The possibility of allocating some part of revenue for unnecessary affaires caused the spread of rural tourism and consequently the popularity of second homes in the western world and many other countries. This paper introduced the second homes, their emergence and spread in all around the world, their geographical and spatial analysis and the importance of rural development, and then it investigated the role of second home tourism in rural development and their tourism development implications in all the environmental, economic, and social aspects. At last Sustainable development of rural tourism strategies was examined.

title: Sheaf Theory as a Foundation for Heterogeneous Data Fusion

description: A major impediment to scientific progress in many fields is the inability to make sense of the huge amounts of data that have been collected via experiment or computer simulation. This dissertation provides tools to visualize, represent, and analyze the collection of sensors and data all at once in a single combinatorial geometric object. Encoding and translating heterogeneous data into common language are modeled by supporting objects. In this methodology, the behavior of the system based on the detection of noise in the system, possible failure in data exchange and recognition of the redundant or complimentary sensors are studied via some related geometric objects. Applications of the constructed methodology are described by two case studies: one from wildfire threat monitoring and the other from air traffic monitoring. Both cases are distributed (spatial and temporal) information systems. The systems deal with temporal and spatial fusion of heterogeneous data obtained from multiple sources, where the schema, availability and quality vary. The behavior of both systems is explained thoroughly in terms of the detection of the failure in the systems and the recognition of the redundant and complimentary sensors. A comparison between the methodology in this dissertation and the alternative methods is described to further verify the validity of the sheaf theory method. It is seen that the method has less computational complexity in both space and time.
