description: Compact binary white dwarfs (WDs) undergoing orbital decay due to gravitational radiation can experience significant tidal heating prior to merger. In these WDs, the dominant tidal effect involves the excitation of outgoing gravity waves in the inner stellar envelope and the dissipation of these waves in the outer envelope. As the binary orbit decays, the WDs are synchronized from outside in (with the envelope synchronized first, followed by the core). We examine the deposition of tidal heat in the envelope of a Carbon-Oxygen WD and study how such tidal heating affects the structure and evolution of the WD. We show that significant tidal heating can occur in the star's degenerate hydrogen layer. This layer heats up faster than it cools, triggering runaway nuclear fusion. Such "tidal novae" may occur in all WD binaries containing a CO WD, at orbital periods between 5 min and 20 min, and precede the final merger by 10^5-10^6 years.

Is the Discount Window Necessary? A Penn-Central Perspective
Creators: name: Calomiris, Charles W.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1994
Subjects: Finance

description: In recent years, economists have come to question the desirability of granting banks the privilege of borrowing from the Federal Reserve’s discount window. The discount window’s detractors cite several disadvantages. First, the Fed’s control over high-powered money can be hampered. If bank borrowing behavior is hard to predict, open market operations cannot perfectly peg high-powered money, which some economists believe the Fed should do. Second, there are microeconomic concerns about potential abuse of the discount window (Schwartz 1 1992). Critics argue that the discount window has been misused as a transfer scheme to hail out (or postpone the failure of) troubled or insolvent financial institutions that should be closed quickly to prevent desperate acts of fraud or excess risk taking by bank management. In response to growing criticism of Fed lending to prop up failing banks, Congress mandated limits on discount lending to distressed banks, which went into effect on December 19, 1993.

description: Abstract In April 2012, the United Arab Emirates initiated a program to integrate iPads into the country’s three national universities beginning in the foundation program at each institution (Hargis, Cavanaugh, Kamali & Soto, 2014). In September 2012, 14,000 Apple iPad tablets were given to students in the foundation programs at each of these institutions (Hamdan, 2012). This research consisted of a descriptive holistic multiple case study and had three goals: (1) describe how university leaders decided to implement this mandated technology adoption program, (2) identify internal and external factors that influenced educational leaders’ decisions regarding technology in learning programs, (3) identify significant reoccurring themes. The literature review includes an exploration of the higher educational environment in the UAE, an examination of technology adoption, strategic planning, technology planning, and implementation in education, and an examination of some of the relevant literature that may have impacted leadership decisions. The conceptual framework for this study is based on Ertmer’s (1999) strategies for technology integration, the curriculum-centred strategic planning model (Dolence, 2004), and the Bates (2000) ACTIONS technology choice model. This research is intended to assist higher education leaders with mandated, wide-scale, technology adoption programs, especially technology adoption programs that take place in similar geographic or socio-cultural contexts.

description: Modern network security research has demonstrated a clear necessity for open sharing of traffic datasets between organizations a need that has so far been superseded by the challenges of removing sensitive content from the data beforehand. Network Data Anonymization is an emerging field dedicated to solving this problem, with a main focus on removal of identifiable artifacts that might pierce privacy, such as usernames and IP addresses. However, recent research has demonstrated that more subtle statistical artifacts, also present, may yield fingerprints that are just as differentiable as the former. This result highlights certain shortcomings in current anonymization frameworks particularly, ignoring the behavioral idiosyncrasies of network protocols, applications, and users. Network traffic synthesis (or simulation) is a closely related complimentary approach which, while more difficult to accurately execute, has the potential for far greater flexibility. This paper leverages the statistical-idiosyncrasies of network behavior to augment anonymization and traffic-synthesis techniques through machine-learning models specifically designed to capture host-level behavior. We present the design of a system that can automatically learn models for network host behavior across time, then use these models to replicate the original behavior, to interpolate across gaps in the original traffic, and demonstrate how to generate new diverse behaviors. Further, we measure the similarity of the synthesized data to the original, providing us with a quantifiable estimate of data fidelity.

description: We study the potential of a very large volume underwater Mediterranean neutrino telescope to observe neutrinos from supernova (SN) explosions within our galaxy. The intense neutrino burst emitted in a SN explosion results in a large number of MeV neutrinos inside the instrumented volume of the neutrino telescope that can be detected (mainly) via the reaction ν_e-bar + p -> e^+ + n . In this study we simulated the response of the underwater neutrino telescope to the electron antineutrino flux predicted by the Garching model for SN explosions. We assumed that the neutrino telescope comprises 6160 direction sensitive optical modules, each containing 31 small photomultiplier tubes. Multiple coincidences between the photomultiplier tubes of the same optical module are utilized to suppress the noise produced by $^{40}K$ radioactive decays and to establish a statistical significant signature of the SN explosion.

Anti-Chinese attitudes in post-communist Mongolia : the lingering negative schemas of the past
Creators: name: Jargalsaikhan, Mendee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines “anti” attitudes in general and anti-Chinese attitudes in Mongolia in particular, to answer the puzzle: Why do anti-Chinese attitudes in Mongolia still persist after both nations have enjoyed friendly, neighborly state-to-state relations for more than two decades? The argument is made that anti-Chinese attitudes in Mongolia are persistent because of lingering impacts of artificially-consolidated negative schemas about China, Chinese people, and their culture from the 1960s-1980s. Mongolian political elites at that time institutionalized anti-Chinese attitudes, introducing only negative schemas, while blocking all other sources for positive or neutral schemas about China. Nevertheless, Mongolian political elites’ attitudes toward China became noticeably positive since mid-2000 due to increased interactions, information, and the changing economic reality despite of the fact that unfavorable views of China and the anti-Chinese attitudes have still dominated the media, blogosphere, and public discourses. The main reason for the gap between attitudes of the political elites and the public can be explained by a reluctance of the political elites and intellectuals to de-construct the past schemas because of its diacritic purpose to differentiate Mongolian identity in addition to material realities. This thesis also contends that anti-Chinese attitudes in Mongolia are a variant of a global anti-Chinese phenomenon. The “anti” attitudes are explained by three main reasons: a power imbalance, a backlash against economic activities, and conflicting identities. In this regard, the Mongolian case study is an excellent entry point to understand the causes and consequences of anti-Chinese attitudes in the small, developing, democratic Chinese neighbors. This thesis uses analytical approaches for a similar phenomenon, anti-Americanism, and extensively uses the notion of schema, as developed by Katzenstein and Keohane (2007) in their conceptualization of anti-Americanisms.
DB-FSFO – “A Division-Based Feature Selection Flow Optimization Model for Better Summaries and Reading Recommendations

description: With constant improvements in digital media technology, there has been a big growth in the quantity of research material available on-line for a researcher to supplement his work. An average researcher typically spends hours to study a research paper, trying to understand all its details and complexities. Sometimes this time spent is not quite justified since the paper might not be highly relevant to the reader’s research. Furthermore, this one paper might just be a small subset of the available information which a researcher would need. A researcher only has limited time and resources to deal with the challenge of accomplishing their reading goals. One approach to alleviate this is by shortening the size of a research document, thereby effectively reducing the time spent by a researcher on reading. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a system that tackles the complex task of research text summarization. The model, DB-FSFO (Division Based – Feature Selection based Flow Optimization), makes use of Natural Language Processing tools combined with extensive Feature Extraction and Selection procedures to self-weigh the importance of various parameters of a research text document with the corpus in perspective. The final summary produced by the model is the result of a flow optimization through a Reinforcement Learning approach with an extended post-processing accuracy improvement. The model proposed in the thesis is also tested for robustness and versatility by effectively producing recommendations for the next papers to be read by the researcher. This is supplemented further by generation of a reading recommendation graph. Therefore, the DB-FSFO model makes absorbing the essentials of a research paper easier and more efficient.

description: We perform a systematic study of the $d=5$ Weinberg operator at the one-loop level. We identify three different categories of neutrino mass generation: (1) finite irreducible diagrams; (2) finite extensions of the usual seesaw mechanisms at one-loop and (3) divergent loop realizations of the seesaws. All radiative one-loop neutrino mass models must fall into one of these classes. Case (1) gives the leading contribution to neutrino mass naturally and a classic example of this class is the Zee model. We demonstrate that in order to prevent that a tree level contribution dominates in case (2), Majorana fermions running in the loop and an additional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry are needed for a genuinely leading one-loop contribution. In the type-II loop extensions, the lepton number violating coupling will be generated at one loop, whereas the type-I/III extensions can be interpreted as loop-induced inverse or linear seesaw mechanisms. For the divergent diagrams in category (3), the tree level contribution cannot be avoided and is in fact needed as counter term to absorb the divergence.

description: Headwater areas are ecologically important and can be negatively impacted by off highway vehicle use, yet harmful noncompliance with existing regulation occurs. This thesis considers whether compliance with Alberta law regulating OHV use on Crown land could be improved by using responsive regulation, a law and society approach. The traditional approach to the law is reviewed and contrasted with the law and society approach. The physical, regulatory, social and economic contexts of off highway vehicle use and harm in Alberta are examined. The main characteristics of responsive regulation are investigated. One variation of responsive regulation, restorative justice, is examined and it is concluded that theoretically it could be applied to off highway vehicle regulation, but unanswered questions remain as to the cost-effectiveness of doing so.

description: We study the effect of polydispersity on the macroscopic physical properties of granular packings in two and three dimensions. A mean-field approach is developed to approximate the macroscale quantities as functions of the microscopic ones. We show that the trace of the fabric and stress tensors are proportional to the mean packing properties (e.g. packing fraction, average coordination number, and average normal force) and dimensionless correction factors, which depend only on the moments of the particle-size distribution. Similar results are obtained for the elements of the stiffness tensor of isotropic packings in the linear affine response regime. Our theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the simulation results.

description: The cerebellum is implicated in the pathophysiology of numerous movement disorders, which makes it an attractive target for non-invasive neurostimulation. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) can induce long-lasting plastic changes in human brain; however, the efficacy of different simulation protocols has not been investigated at the cerebellum. Here, we compare a traditional 50-Hz and a modified 30-Hz cTBS protocols at modulating cerebellar activity in healthy subjects. Seventeen healthy adults participated in two testing sessions where they received either 50-Hz (cTBS50) or 30-Hz (cTBS30) cerebellar cTBS. Cerebellar brain inhibition (CBI), a measure of cerebello-thalamocortical pathway strength, and motor-evoked potentials (MEP) were measured in the dominant first dorsal interosseous muscle before and after (up to ~ 40 min) cerebellar cTBS. Both cTBS protocols induced cerebellar depression, indicated by significant reductions in CBI (P < 0.001). No differences were found between protocols (cTBS50 and cTBS30) at any time point (P = 0.983). MEP amplitudes were not significantly different following either cTBS protocol (P = 0.130). The findings show cerebellar excitability to be equally depressed by 50-Hz and 30-Hz cTBS in healthy adults and support future work to explore the efficacy of different cerebellar cTBS protocols in movement disorder patients where cerebellar depression could provide therapeutic benefits.
Response of selected mungbean genotypes of Queensland, Australia to various abiotic stresses

Subjects: Crop and pasture biochemistry and physiology

description: Australian mungbean yields are constrained by a range of biotic (major diseases and insects pests), and abiotic (flooding/waterlogging, drought, heat, salinity, and nutrient deficiency) stresses. In this thesis, several mungbean genotypes were compared for their response to drought, waterlogging, Mn toxicity, and nodulation under varying levels of nitrate in growing medium. Four AgriVentis Mungbean genotypes (AVTMB#1, AVTMB#2, AVTMB#3 and AVTMB#4), as selected from prior evaluation by CQU cropping research group for high yields in field conditions of central Queensland, were compared with the current leading mungbean variety (Jade-AU) in Central Queensland, Australia. When drought stress was imposed at the flowering stage (R1), two chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, excitation pressure (1-qP) and effective quantum yield of photosystem II (ФPSII) measured at R1, were decreased in proportion to the final yield decrease, and are therefore recommended for use in screening programs for drought tolerance. Significantly higher yield performance under the drought stress conditions and higher Instantaneous water use efficiency (iWUE) was achieved by AVTMB#1 and AVTMB#4, with a 39 and 38% higher seed yield, respectively, than Jade AU. When plant roots were waterlogged at the pod filling stage (R4), gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence measured 30 days after stress imposition decreased in proportion to the decline of final yield. The chlorophyll a fluorescence parameter, excitation pressure (1-qP), and photosynthetic rates (Asat) were correlated with seed yield, hence recommended for use in screening programs for waterlogging tolerance. Genotype Jade-AU and AVTMB#3 experienced the lowest yield penalty under waterlogging among the five genotypes, with a 13.6 and 21.7% yield decline, respectively, relative to non-waterlogged conditions. Waterlogging of poorly draining soil types resulted in increased levels of manganese (Mn) in the soil solution. In a 15-day seedling trial in hydroponic culture involving the five genotypes, Mn concentrations as low as 284 μM resulted in a decline in plant growth, leaf chlorophyll contents and chlorophyll a fluorescence of dark-adapted leaves (Fv/Fm), while causing a significant increase in total antioxidant in leaves. Furthermore, the uptake of Mn in shoots and roots was investigated at a 284 μM level and results revealed that more Mn was accumulated in roots than in shoots, however, it did not discriminate among genotypes. At Mn levels of 284 μM and 1136 μM, genotypes Jade-AU and AVTMB#3 maintained greater leaf chlorophyll content and dark-adapted leaf chlorophyll a fluorescence (Fv/Fm) than other genotypes. Furthermore, genotype AVTMB#3 exhibited significantly higher shoot and root lengths. However, shoot and root dry weights were not significantly different between genotypes.

Phoebe as an Example of Female Authority Exercised in the Early Church
Creators: name: McCarty, V. K.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Religion

description: The Apostle Paul’s glowing witness to the Deacon Phoebe in Rom.16:1-2 3 reflects a hard-working church leader who might have been surprised to discover that she is the first person in the history of the church, male or female, to be formally designated “deacon” by name in scripture. The example of Phoebe represents one of the ways authority was exercised in the life of the Church during the earliest generations of believers confessing that Christ, the source of authority, is Lord. In the collaborative ministry of Paul and Phoebe, we see an example of “the Lord himself working through the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church.” Like many of the earliest Christians, Phoebe may have been a far-flung traveler and it is likely that she was Paul’s chosen courier for his Letter to the Romans; his gratitude expressed for Phoebe’s generosity, to himself and many others, rings true in the witness of scripture. In a patriarchal culture, where it was often assumed that women were properly to be considered an invisible component of society and justifiably under-reported, Paul acknowledges a “genuine pneumatic endowment” in the women co-workers he singles out for praise. Phoebe is remembered by Paul--and in the canon of scripture--as a sister, as a benefactor, and as a deacon. She is a useful New Testament figure to study since the witness of her authority is attested so early in the history of the Church that it transcends the differences between Eastern and Western traditions.

description: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) is a highly effective therapy for movement disorders, yet its mechanism of action remains controversial. Inhibition of local neurons due to release of GABA from afferents to the GPi is a proposed mechanism in patients. Yet, high frequency stimulation (HFS) produces prolonged membrane depolarization mediated by cholinergic neurotransmission in endopeduncular neurons (EP, GPi-equivalent in rodent). We applied HFS while recording neuronal firing from an adjacent electrode during microelectrode mapping of GPi in awake patients (both male and female) with Parkinson disease (PD) and dystonia. Aside from after-suppression and no change in neuronal firing, high frequency microstimulation induced after-facilitation in 38% (26/69) of GPi neurons. In neurons displaying after-facilitation, 10-s HFS led to an immediate decrease of bursting in PD, but not dystonia patients. Moreover, the changes of bursting patterns in neurons with after-suppression or no change after HFS, were similar in both patient groups. To explore the mechanisms responsible, we applied HFS in EP brain slices from rats of either sex. As in humans, HFS in EP induced two subtypes of after-excitation: excitation or excitation with late inhibition. Pharmacological experiments determined that the excitation subtype, induced by lower charge density, was dependent on glutamatergic transmission. HFS with higher charge density induced excitation with late inhibition, which involved cholinergic modulation. Therefore HFS with different charge density may affect the local neurons through multiple synaptic mechanisms. The cholinergic system plays a role in mediating the after-facilitatory effects in GPi neurons, and because of their modulatory nature, may provide a basis for both the immediate and delayed effects of GPi-DBS. We propose a new model to explain the mechanisms of DBS in GPi.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDeep brain stimulation (DBS) in the globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) improves Parkinson disease (PD) and dystonia, yet its mechanisms in GPi remain controversial. Inhibition has been previously described and thought to indicate activation of GABAergic synaptic terminals, which dominate in GPi. Here we report that 10-s high frequency microstimulation induced after-facilitation of neural firing in a substantial proportion of GPi neurons in humans. The neurons with after-facilitation, also immediately reduced their bursting activities after high frequency stimulation in PD, but not dystonia patients. Based on these data and further animal experiments, a mechanistic hypothesis involving glutamatergic, GABAergic and cholinergic synaptic transmission is proposed to explain both short- and longer-term therapeutic effects of DBS in GPi.

description: The satraps of Persia played a significant role in many affairs of the European Greek poleis. This dissertation contains a discussion of the ways in which the Persians treated the Hellenic states like subjects of the Persian empire, particularly following the expulsion of the Persian Invasion in 479 BCE. Chapter One looks at Persian authority both within the empire and among the Greeks. Chapter Two focuses on political corruption and acculturation due to extended cohabitation. Chapter Three discusses financial corruption and the loss of Hellenic identity through money. Chapter Four looks at the treatment of the Greek states as Persian subjects by means of diplomatic intervention. A brief conclusion states that the stability of the Persian Empire directly resulted in satrapal interest in expanding their borders and intervention in Greece. The treatment of the Greeks as if they were subjects of the empire provided a stabilizing influence to the Hellenic states despite the image of the Persians often depicted in literary sources.

description: In cities all over the world, local people face similar problems: How can our kids get to school in safety? Where are all the buses? Why does local government seem to not care about us?
 Meanwhile, local governments also face similar problems, from the other side of the table: How to mobilize the resources of the community? How to find out more about what they want or need? How to use this to provide better services at lower cost?
 The Looper Model starts to bridge this gap. It shows how community-based visioning and design can lead to better neighbourhoods. We call this ‘co-creation’ – active involvement and empowerment of citizens, to collect data, design solutions and monitor the outcomes.
 The Looper Model is a set of methods and tools to support local co-creation. It works with ‘learning loops,’ which bring together local knowledge with local decision-making. The Looper Toolkit comprises online and offline tools to support the learning loops.
 Three Looper Living Labs in Brussels, Manchester and Verona, each developed and tested the Looper Model and Looper Toolkit.
 All this helps to keep people ‘in the loop’, and to ‘close the loop’, so that local knowledge can lead to local action. The Looper Model in any city can help with practical solutions for air quality, noise, traffic safety, security, greenspace and other challenges in the public realm.

description: Context. Recently the discovery of PSR J1719-1438, a 5.8 ms pulsar with a companion in a 2.2 hr orbit, was reported. The combination of this orbital period and the very low mass function is unique. The discoverers, Bailes et al., proposed an ultracompact X-ray binary (UCXB) as the progenitor system. However, the standard UCXB scenario would not produce this system as the time required to reach this orbital period exceeds the current estimate of the age of the Universe. The detached state of the system aggravates the problem. Aims. We want to understand the evolutionary history of PSR J1719-1438, and determine under which circumstances it could have evolved from an UCXB. Methods. We model UCXB evolution varying the donor size and investigate the effect of a wind mass loss from the donor, and compare the results with the observed characteristics of PSR J1719-1438. Results. An UCXB can reach a 2.2 hr orbit within the age of the Universe, provided that 1) the millisecond pulsar can significantly heat and expand the donor by pulsar irradiation, or 2) the system loses extra orbital angular momentum, e.g. via a fast wind from the donor. Conclusions. The most likely scenario for the formation of PSR J1719-1438 is UCXB evolution driven by angular momentum loss via the usual gravitational wave emission, which is enhanced by angular momentum loss via a donor wind of ~3x10^-13 Msun/yr. Depending on the size of the donor during the evolution, the companion presently probably has a mass of ~1-3 Jupiter masses, making it a very low mass white dwarf as proposed by Bailes et al. Its composition can be either helium or carbon-oxygen. A helium white dwarf companion makes the long (for an UCXB) orbital period easier to explain, but the required inclination makes it a priori less likely than a carbon-oxygen white dwarf.

Getting out from the back of the sofa: Sustainable funding for Open Access books
Creators: name: Grady, Tom
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Professor Martin Eve pointed out in an article on WonkHE in 2020 that "the biggest blocker to open access for monographs seems to be economic. Book Processing Charges at the €12,000 mark will not scale in disciplines where an entire department's book purchasing budget is just €8,000".
Three years on and this still seems to hit the nail on the head when thinking about sustainability of funding for open access books. BPCs remain a significant method of paying to produce OA monographs for many researchers and libraries. But in the last three years we have seen several new initiatives emerge that seek to solve the problem posed by funding via BPCs alone. There are now quite a few collective funding models for OA books: they vary in complexity and all work slightly differently but they all offer alternatives to BPCs. At the last two Munin Conferences on Scholarly Publishing, my colleague Professor Eve presented on several of these models, including MIT Press's D2O, JSTOR's Path 2 Open and many others, and he also described the model that was his own invention with the COPIM project: Opening the Future.
In this workshop we will pick up where Professor Eve left off, giving a brief update on how those models have fared in order to set the scene for discussion. But we'll then pose a provocative central question that has arisen from this new landscape. All of these models offer a path for academic presses to fund their open access monographs by harnessing the power of small contributions from many member libraries, but how will they achieve sustainability? How will libraries ensure that money for these programmes is in their budget year on year? How will the scholarly publishers ensure a reliable income to produce their OA books? 
In other words, how can the sector work together to ensure the continued success of non-BPC approaches and ensure that the money for them is not just found 'down the back of the sofa'?
This will be a lively session with lots of Q&A to drill down to the detail of how we, together, can find reliable income streams for the increasingly populous landscape of collective funding initiatives.
A Study of the Dark Core in A520 with Hubble Space Telescope: The Mystery Deepens

description: We present a Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 weak-lensing study of A520, where a previous analysis of ground-based data suggested the presence of a dark mass concentration. We map the complex mass structure in much greater detail leveraging more than a factor of three increase in the number density of source galaxies available for lensing analysis. The "dark core" that is coincident with the X-ray gas peak, but not with any stellar luminosity peak is now detected with more than 10 sigma significance. The ~1.5 Mpc filamentary structure elongated in the NE-SW direction is also clearly visible. Taken at face value, the comparison among the centroids of dark matter, intracluster medium, and galaxy luminosity is at odds with what has been observed in other merging clusters with a similar geometric configuration. To date, the most remarkable counter-example might be the Bullet Cluster, which shows a distinct bow-shock feature as in A520, but no significant weak-lensing mass concentration around the X-ray gas. With the most up-to-date data, we consider several possible explanations that might lead to the detection of this peculiar feature in A520. However, we conclude that none of these scenarios can be singled out yet as the definite explanation for this puzzle.

Symphonia in the Secular or How to Be Orthodox When You Lose Your Empire
Creators: name: Dunn, David James
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Religion

description: Vigen Guroian has observed that “diasporic” Orthodoxy struggles to know how to be church in a modern, secular, and democratic context. Thus, he calls for developing the richness of our past political philosophy into a modern social ethic, one that resists the dual temptations of accommodationism and sectarianism. This essay partly responds to that call by developing symphonia into an ecclesial ethic of provisional accommodationism and situational sectarianism. Under symphonia, the church related to the empire by sometimes supporting and sometimes opposing it. My thesis is that in a secular situation, symphonia must go from being a defunct political ideal to an ecclesiology of conditional engagement, not simply with the state, but, with secular society itself, on the basis of its proleptic realization of the kingdom of God.

description: This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. With the rigorous growth of cellular network many mobility datasets are available publically, which attracted researchers to study human mobility fall under spatio-temporal phenomenon. Mobility profile building is main task in spatio-temporal trend analysis which can be extracted from the location information available in the dataset. The location information is usually gathered through the GPS, service provider assisted faux GPS and Cell Global Identity (CGI). Because of high power consumption and extra resource installation requirement in GPS related methods, Cell Global Identity is most inexpensive method and readily available solution for location information. CGI location information is four set head i.e. Mobile country code (MCC), Mobile network code (MNC), Location area code (LAC) and Cell ID, location information is retrieved in form of longitude and latitude coordinates through any of publically available Cell Id databases e.g. Google location API using CGI. However due to of fast growth in GSM network, change in topology by the GSM service provider and technology shift toward 3G exact spatial extraction is somehow a problem in it, so location extraction must dealt with spatial outlier's problem first for mobility building. In this paper we proposed a methodology for the detection of spatial outliers from GSM CGI data, the proposed methodology is hierarchical clustering based and used the basic GSM network architecture properties.
